Im looking at buying a R32 gtst and the roof is faded a fair bit, so im gonna see how much it would cost to respray the roof. i was wondering if any one in WA knows of any decent panel beaters/painter for imports south of the river preferably.

or even estimated prices for just the roof and maybe an estimated price for a full car respray in gunmetal grey. I've looked through forums on here but I can only find contacts for spray painters that only do insurance work, I'm looking for people to have that car resprayed/part resprayed that can recommend me some one. Any help would be great

cheers

i got quoted $350 to spray the roof on my car (note NOT a skyline) it is about the same area and the car is a metalic black.

This was a very good pice but i would (with out seeing it) estimate around the $500-ish or so for a quick rub and colour.

Look for a few in your area and check out what type of work they are doing, not the car but how good the finished job is then make your decesion from there.

Schonhut Panel & Paint in Osborne Park is who we use here at work. They have done both cars belonging to the other guys here in the office with me as well as El Presidente's 350Z (fitted and painted bodykit).

9444 3161 worth a call :)

Thanks mate, i gave him a call and was quoted between $700-$1200

then i gave dale a call from daleco P&P in welshpool and was quoted between $900-$1700 depending how bad it was, as they may have to remove the front and rear windows and how far down the side of the panels they will need to blend the paint.

any one had any experience with either of these guys?

When I still had my R33 I got the roof resprayed. It was rubbed down and prepared properly. At the same time I got a GTR spoiler sprayed and fitted. I got all this for $800 from Mel at Assured Smash Repair in Canningvale. He does awesome work. I have also got him to do a full respray on my supra as well as fixing the BMW that got rear ended. Every time he does a second to none job. Would recommend him to anyone.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
