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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
