good old respraying,

friends r31 we are sanding back/bogging/derusting etc atm

got paint/thinners/harders already for it

paint is 2pac

basically, to spray the outside only of the car (no door jam's, engine bay etc) whats the damage going to be $$$ wise for the labour to spray it? any ideas/recommendations?

also for the panels that are still perfect, how far back should they be sanded, should it all be taken back to bare metal, or just to the undercoat? just knock off the clear coat (or the little thats left of it)?

How much of the car?

Are you doing things like the inside of the boot/ under the bonnet/ door sills etc?

Is it just an external respray?

basically, to spray the outside only of the car (no door jam's, engine bay etc) whats the damage ............?

:jump: :) seriously.....

in two pac .. i think roughly depending who u go to ..anywhere from 650 to a 900 as your doing all the work.. or if u can find a little asian backyarder that doesnt speak english all that well like i know of and he'll do it for 400 lol :freak:

thats just a rough idea. . i'm not 100% cluey on this kinda of stuff .. but last i remember anyways it was around that mark .. i think :(

spraying my entire car in the BA Ford Phantom Purple (including door jams engine bay etc) was around $800 for the paint/materials. All the prep was done in the backyard :)

And if i can remember, we sanded the car to the original undercoat (tryed to anyway!) we still had spots of the burgundy paint but we did the best we could, but it was okay because we had to do a undercoat, base coat, then the colour. It turned out schmick.

Just get a few quotes from different places.

aaahahahahaha!

Yeah that's what i get for jumping on the computer before i've had a coffee in the morning...

You'll need to get as much of the clearcoat off as possible.

Keep a can of primer handy while you're sanding... if you go back to metal, hit it with the primer.

heres what i would be doing.....dry sand the whole car with a machine with 240 carefully feathering chips and scratches then high fill the whole thing let it sit for a week or so then spray a guide coat black over it and wet rub with 400-600 and if its metallic finish off with 800 wet

Hope that helps

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
