i heard that if you buy the paint and take it to the ECU paint shop they will paint you're car for free as practice.

might be the same deal for MITA just look into it.

obviously you take the risk of it not being a pro finish but they shouldnt be to bad.

just an idea?

Found this guy on FB of all places by fluke>>> http://www.mtcautobodyrepairs.com.au/

Seems to do a good job and prices are reasonable as far as I have been quoted. Going to get quote on my R33 this Saturday as well. Feel free to drop him a line and if you emai him picks he can usually quote off them too..

Tell him JD sent ya as told him I would spread the word as believe he is a bit sought after...

Also he is NOR near Hocking..

Well JD

After arranging to have bonnet, mirrors and rear wing painted, sent pics etc, all quoted up

Drive nearly one hour (and gf drives to pick me up) had to be up early to get the car to him when he wanted it

He then says "dents look bigger than pics, is it fibreglass?" (I sent pics with tape measure and told him its factory aluminium)... Alarm bells

Then "I only quoted to tape up and paint part of mirror, not whole mirror"

Then "well I can't do wing, that will take too long"

This was all after photos, descriptions and a quote (said he needed 2 days to do the work) - admittedly I had to wait a few weeks to get the car in (cos he was busy) - but all the detail was provided

Anyone else had any experiences with this guy they'd like to share?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
