V35 Repaint Tips And Suggestions

[shiva]

Hi Guys,

Thinking of repainting my Black V35. Thinking of sticking on to the black but would like some suggestions of better colour options(with photos if you have). Also what are the questions that i should be asking like what type of paint should i use and other info. Could someone give me rough price for the job.

Thanks a lot guys.

Go black again with heaps of metallic flakes in the paint.

[sheldon2369]

Yeah, Black with gold pearl would look great. Or silver pearl.

Black with dark dark dark blue pearl.

hey guys, few questions....cheap and best place to buy the paint in Brisbane...or do you think i shud order online....secondly is clear coat optional and do i need to buy some premium thinner for the paint...

Shiva, have u considered a full car wrap? There are a few ppl who can do this professionally and the outcome could be a lot cheaper and unique opposed to a full respray. Worth considering.

[shiva]

jon, can you recommend some contact info regarding car wrap and a rough cost???

buy the paint online? you are not going to try and paint it your self right? and clear coat, of course !!!!

$2500 or more for a respray from someone cheap..

$2500?! Would have thought that $4k would be a more appropriate number - for a decent job with proper clear applied that is.

$4k is still cheap. I just recently got my front bumper, boot, and rear bumper all fully resprayed for free but it would have cost me $550.

Agreed, I had the turret (hood), and boot lid resprayed in another car a few years back now, and that was $900 - wasn't triple layer pearl paint either.. You can probably add 50% more if you want a pearl coat.

$2K would probably only get u a taxi paint job. i.e.: door jams, engine bay etc untouched. A proper paint full respray would cost you $5K++++++

f**k off, my paint job is awesome - 3 layer pearl for 2k (Usually he does it for 4k - 5k). Not painting inside the doors / engine pay isn't the biggest deal, my cars white, inside my doors are an off white - in no way is my paint job a "Taxi paint job"

Even if I had 5k to spend i'd still rather spend 2k to get what i've done. I would change nothing about my car.

Black is one of the worst colours to go with, although it does look amazing on most cars. Attracts heat and if you live in 25-30 degree heat every day you don't will suffer.

Scratches come up horribly and is very difficult to maintain, but if you take care of it and don't mind the extra heat then it can turn out being a very good investment.

You haven't changed colour mate. Pearl white on white is a pretty breezy job - compared to changing the colour all together.

Ever seen those cabs that are orange outside and inside is all blue still.. lol!
