So I Have Just Been Quoted.. What Do You Think?

[GTRAAH]

So my car has been in a minor accident front guard, Bumper, have been replaced i have also took it to a guy and i have decided to do the full paint job windows out + repair etc (G & S Bodyworks Yennora) his name is Gus. Has quoted around the 4k mark for a full cut down window out re-spray.. plus repaairing the damage. THis includes the after market seals front and back.

How is the price? A i getting ripped?he seems to tell me his actually doing a good pric for me and normally it would be over the 5 k mark

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

depends how much damage but yes that sounds like a good price.. depends on the quality of the job getting done to though..

Too many variables and missing details to say definately..

Do you mean a FULL respray of your WHOLE car with windows out?

If it is, plus repairs, 4k seems reasonable.

A good&cheap full respray with windows out nowadays is worth like 3-3.5k

[GTRAAH]

yeh some repairs aswell , i thought its good aswell. the guy has a pretty good rep aswell

[Charles89]

Yeah, if he can do his job well, for 4k, I'd definitely go with it.

Bodyformaero aka Peter uses that repair centre. Just ask for the finish to be up to "Peter's standard"

A full respray should cost more than that alone.

I am pretty fussy but i would baulk at a full paint job and repairs for $4k. Myself i would be expecting closer to $10k for a quality job. But thats just me, i dont like decent work, i like it to be top quality

If Peter at Bodyform uses them they must be decent, though i thought Peter did all the work himself usually? Or does he just use these guys for paint?

Sounds like a very decent price, very cheap for a window out job with repairs.

A half decent window out job will easily be over 5k at most places, it all depends on how they get the car and what work is required, a car pre prepped will cost a lot less.

The places where you see full resprays for like 3k arnt window out jobs, I work in the 'trade' and I have seen some poor paint jobs and great paint jobs and 3k wont get you much especially if you have repairs. It helps if you know someone as most shops will try to rip you off if your just a random.

I would research this place or see some of his work and make sure he knows that if there is something not done right he has to fix it.

Mine has just gone undergone a full respray windows out, every dent scratch all new seals front lip repaired etc etc

That has just cost me $9k

You gets what you pays for though!!

I hate runs in paint or in-perfections etc I could of gone cheaper but at what cost...

So yeah $4k sounds good lets just hope its a good finish...

+1 for above post

$8 to $10k for a quality job. New seals and glass out.

Thats what my bill is. Mind you being in Canberra we get ripped off too.
