Hey guys, Johnny here.

sorry i know this has probly beenposted so many times, dnt really know how to navigate this site cos im harldly on it.

is there anyone out there in the canberra area that can do good resprays? i just moved from Adelaide to Canberra and dnt know the area or shops, i own a 33 and my roof is badly sun damaged, and base paint is screwed and rust is slowlly setting in, im after a price and not a price like stupid shops quote for 10k :S im only after the roof done for the time being.. car is burgandy or wine red. just looking for a second hand job that is still good resonable price. and not crappy that will last a little bit till i can make enough money to get it done professionally.

i can help sand it back and prep and even buy the materials needed like the paint, i just dnt have my own equipment or i would do it myself. just really need the roof done for a temp job but still good to look at :\

or any info on where i can go for good prices and work is appreciated.

feel free to drop me an email at

or just simply reply to this thread :D

If you are just looking for something to stop it rusting and look okay (better than what it does now) and then save up for a full respray. DIY!

Rub it back and make sure it is super clean (no finger marks) give it a quick prime and then use a couple of Rattle cans of base colour. If you a feeling superkeen then you can also put a few coats of clear-coat ontop too. Don't use cheap arse supercheap import cans go to a proper paint store. If you prep it properly it will last and you can get a pretty decent finish.

Otherwise I have heard nothing but good things from KMF.

hey mate i can do it, i sent an email from my hot mail account to you earlier. otherwise any panel shop will be able to do it,

I know Alldents in hoskins street mitchel are pretty good..

if you sand off all the old paint down to the metal and give the car to them like that, that will help a lot in doing a good and you know it will be done properly.

they wont be painting over sun damaged old cracking/crows feet paint and the next painter wont have to bare metal it and will hopefully be a good enough base to flow coat for when you want a mint paint finish next time

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
