Hey guys,

Just a quick question, where abouts would you get a respray done in Tasmania? Preferably Launceston area.

Story is, bought a CF bonnet up the southern outlet one night it blew up shattered my windshield and dent my roof. Sent it into MR Dingo for dent removal while i was away for 3 months. Came back dent removal was amazing, but there is now scratches and shit all over the place.... So just a head up can't fault his work, but don't leave your car there for extended periods of time!

Pretty much just want it all sanded back, any minor dents pulled out, if any rust is found get rid of it then resprayed the same color again (QM1) Bonnet will not be getting sprayed as its not worth the money (Bought it with holes in it, buying a new CF one to attach soon)

Anyone have any recommendations? Even if its a backyard job if they do amazing work i'd be willing to chat with them :)

Cheers, Zac

May i clarify, the dents were all fixed up, but there were scratches left near said repairs? or on other parts of the car? i'm not sure if Mr.untouchable does that work anymore since he's now soft and thinking of selling his car ;) but not harm in asking, he may be able to refer someone up north who can do the work as he's based in the south.

Mmm lots of love for my car lots of hate for me ATM lol. As for the re spray, what you want by the sounds of it is a 'closed door' re spray. Bonnet off door handles out, mirrors off etc moulds/trims off and some dents sorted and some primer here and there and some new white all over? Pretty simple task whites hard to get wrong, I would estimate 4k roughly at most body shops. The higher end shops might be higher but it's not a complicated job, just time and a bit of product. I'd be a bit shy of random backyard cashies some monkey with a barrel of acrylic could make a mess of it. I don't know of any good backyarders up their either sorry

Scratches where left all over the car, nothing to do with the repair job. My sideskirts took a beating, my rear end had scuffs and scratches on it. There is hairline cracks in the paint on the roof right near the edge.

No good man sounds like he had a party around the car while you were away. As Jack said I'd be wary of random backyarders as most will be happy to charge you f**k all but give you the same. Are most of the scratches really bad or would a good cut and polish tidy most of it up? If it's not scratched through the paint to the actual primer then you'd be amazed what can polish out. Shame your not down south or I'd be interested in having a look and giving you a quote.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
