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!

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
