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...

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?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
