Panel Beaters

[Spook's_Skyline]

feel free to recommend to me a panel beater that does good work and wont charge me a fortune

woman backed into a wooden pole and has trashed a rear panel :*(

darwens have quoted me 700 bux, im hoping i can get good work done, but cheaper than that (getting front bar resprayed while we are at it)

preferably southside, inner city

[predator]

I'm also after names, places etc for the work i need done .. when i do finally get it done

Don't want to drive to 50 places to get quotes so some recommendations by people would be a great help. Probably needs to have worked on skylines, and needs to do a very good job.

DMD does good work, their pretty busy but ask them or another place called wizard smash repairs

[EJ]

palm motor body works arnt bad but thay r a little busy they dont charge heap but its not cheap. but u can get some good work

[predator]

In Brisbane?? this is QLD and QLD specific thread.. but yeah, when i was in melb already been to palm.

DMD is not the sort of place I'd take my car to get painted for this sort of thing. May need a small dent popped out on the door i've got on anyhow.

Dr Kustom (Shawn) - does the best prices in Brisbane from all the places I've found quotes from. Tell him Bryan recommended you and I'm pretty darn sure he'll take good care of your ride at a very affordable price.

contact: 0402 637 642 - panel shop is in morningside

he doesnt advertise and owns his workshop - thats why he can do such great prices.

I went to Cruisin Panel Shop at wynnum. He was pretty good he gets skylines now and then.

He did a good job on my car. And if you have seen the blue GTR with fussy plates he did that car also.

[predator]

I've heard Crusin Panel Shop is good also.. from knore who also has had work done there

Dr Kustom sounds good too.

[Ska]

Just spoke with Shawn, sounds very down to earth, looking at getting him to do a cut/polish on my poor beast that desperatly needs it.

[twoquik]

How much for the cut and polish ska?

[Ska]

He gave me a ball park figure to which i am not posting because he really did not want to commit to a certain price as he wanted to inspect the vehilce first and then give me a definate price, bit hard to explain just how bad my roof is so he wanted to have a look at it first. Which is understandable.

[bryanlee38]

fellas. trust me when i say this Dr Kustom - Shawn works on many of my mates vehicles and myself. He does great prices and usually can get most work done on the same day. Tell him Bryan sent ya, he'll definitly give u a good price

[Ska]

Yeah he kinda had a little giggle when I said you had refered me to him, dunno if that was a good thing or bad? Sounds like he does a lot of show cars though!

Camerons at coopers plains got the job

mainly coz they were the ones that originally painted my car (street machines blue) so it made it easier to match the colour

plus they were cheaper by over hundred bux on the next cheapest quote

plenty of nice imports there being worked on also

[Zoix]

how much for the front bar to get repsrayed? I am looking at a new front bar and they painted my car, so I would like to know roughly what it will cost me.

[Spook's_Skyline]

zoixy dude, bugger all

ive done pretty much what u did (ripped front bar off, i just had mine tied on with cable ties)

would only be a couple hundred to get it resprayed and reattached propperly

especially if camerons already did your car, means they got your colour ready to roll

[Zoix]

yeah, im lookig at gettinga r400 front bar, but looking to see how low it is first. I found out i have a duped blitz front bar, thats why its different

getting fmic shortly so I hope i can get the bar painted about the same time i get the fmic.

[Spook's_Skyline]

yar, me also

ill find out if my fmic will fit with the current front bar (which i love)

monday morning

[predator]

I paid about $350 for my frontbar to be painted and fitted from raw.. but i was getting some insurance work done at the same time so they may have charged me cheaper.

My 400R is 110mm off the ground, but I've got adjustable coilovers.. Depends on your setup? I definitely wouldn't go much lower than that, its already JUST bareable on most QLD can throw at it.. but it will die an eventual death.. I give it another 12-18 months till it needs replacement. If you go low and actually drive it, front bars are a throwout item.

FMIC hey spooky, sneaky sneaky.
