expected price for spraying of a full bodykit

[PashaK]

just curious what people would be willing to pay to spray a whole bodykit:

front, back, side skirts and wing

and if anyone knows someone in melbourne that can do it cheap, cos i was quoted $1300 today and i couldnt believe it

thanx

[EJ]

some 1 said that they can get it done 1100 i donno where

[reflex]

1300 isnt that expensive. alot goes into preparing a kit to be sprayed. alot of sanding, filling etc. i had a front bar and sides skirts painted for $450 but i did all the prep work saving heaps but it took hrs of time.

u might be able to get it down to 1k but your getting a whole kit done

[P1E]

As a rule of thumb, the more you pay the better it'll look.

But yeah, do some research and prep. everything yourself.

Or become mates with a spray painter and it'll only cost you a carton of beer.

i'm going to be getting some things sprayed, actually a lot sprayed now i think about it.

front/rear bumpers. spoiler, and rear quarters (to cover up the fugly holes left by the fugly rear spoiler) but i'm most probably gonna get a freebie - that aside, what's involved in prep work and can anyone do it or should you leave it to the pros? I've never done any sanding type stuff ever before.

cheers.

EDIT: Pashak, do you need stuff done right now? I might be able to hook you up (not free, sorry!) at least give you a contact. Place is North Melbourne, off kingsway, pretty much CBD.

SS8_Gohan: yeah that what be great, i want it sprayed asap, details would be appreciated...

i will do all the preping myself, all i need is the highfill done and paint in tupac black

i might even do the highfill myself, if i can get my hands on an aircompressor

how much do u think it'll cost if i do the prep and highfill myself??

cos then all that needs to be done is paint, that should work out a hell of a lot cheaper...

[skiliner]

My dad done a whole Supra kit for $1100 and i had to fibreglass it n sand it i hate panel beating

[sewid]

Depends on the kit. A good condition plastic kit will go on and sprayed a factory colour for $500.

The more work the more money.

paint in tupac black

[lwells]

LOL. it would be more like Tupac Bitchin Black

The sanding part is easy,you need a good eye for a nice even sanded surface,for detail mostly and not be a slacker.....Im thinking about a full respray after i get my kit as there are a few touch ups arround the car and i think with a freshly sprayed kit/car it will make the car look good...

[lwells]

Be aware that some paintshops will refuse to touch a car they haven't prepared themselves so make sure you confirm that its A-OK with the paintshop you want to use.

Interesting topic guys, just got my car back from getting my 400r front and rear fitted, prepped and sprayed...

The kit to get sprayed was:

$400 for front bar including indicator fit

$300 for rear

$100 for pods

Heres a pic of the finished job... Only 4 hours after getting the car back

[Trust33]

Nice..

[SS8_Gohan]

Pashak, and Daz (if you're reading this) i'm going to call my guy today, get some prices for you.

cheers

[Kor'axis]

could you send me the contact to plz?

[SS8_Gohan]

hey guys, so sorry for the delay

mb# is 0411 145 145 - Name is Dietmar (i think that's how you spell it, pronounced 'Ditmar', he's Austrian) - It's relatively new workshop as he's moved from his old one. Tell him 'Daniel Chin' referred you.

I was told $350 for a panel, just for a spray. But like lwells was saying, he would have to see the panels first, so Pashak, you'd have to show him your handy work, see if everything is up to scratch

Seems like a decent price, and we might be able to organise something a little better.

cheers,

daniel.

[ylwgtr2]

Is that 350 and you prep it up yourself?dietmar...that guy used to work for sikkens...he is a bit of a machine i am told
