Need my bonnet re-sprayed in S.E. suburbs - Help me find a good shop!


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a shop to have my bonnet resprayed before auto salon as it's a little tired and I don't think a cut and polish will do any good, looks like it's fairly deep. I'm after a good quality shop in the South Eastern Suburbs as I'm in Knox and any info like what work you had done, price and if you were happy.

Anyone have a rough idea what a bonnet respray is worth?

-Cheers :uh-huh:

I work just down the road from on duty panels and have seen many a nice paint job emerge from there. I would make a decision fast coz they seem to be very busy as I see them try to jigsaw puzzle all the cars in every night.

They are in Sunshine.

P.S. ylwgtr2: Is that your car with the black tail lights? Sweet ride.

There are a few places in Bayswater, and also Ringwood.

I got one of my guards resprayed at a place in Baysie, did a good job of matching and the like and only took 2 days to get it back..

I can thoroughly recommend George at Euroimage in Cheltenham, not the cheapest but the only panelshop that has had repeat business from me, and I am one fussy mofo!! :):D

That was a joke! They sent me one that was the wrong style, then I had to send it back. Then they sent me a new one, ther right type.....with a big chip out of the resin so I had to send that back too. After 4 months I asked for a refund and spend it on performance not rice :cheers:

I'm quite interested in what you come up with, cos i'm trying to find out costs on Full resprays as well as good places to go. UPI quoted $2250 for a full respray, nothing special tho.

anyways, good luck in the search

oh... shit dude, so sorry for not replying to ur PM. That's the EXACT car i'm looking for. Altho for $34K it's quite cheap as that colour started in 2000, altho the site doesn't actually saw what yr the car is. 2000 R34 GT-T in TV2, $34K is a real good price but unfortunately more than i wanna spend (Hoping about $28k on the road, with respray). But thanks so much for sending us the link tho!

SS8_Gohan - Yeah saw it and thought you might like it.

I spoke to my old man and what do you knoe he had his 4WD resprayed a couple of weeks ago by a spraypainter that just does spray work. Dropping it over on Thursday night. He's gonna rub it back first with wet and dry to see what he can do but if it's too far gone then he'll just re-spray! Fingers crossed :rofl:

Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated!:wavey:

Adzmax, could you tell me the details of the shop/guy who is looking at your car?

I am in the market for a full OUTSIDE/OUTER respray and live in the country and have no idea of any decent places in melb to go for a respray. Especially ones that don't want $3000 to do it!

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
