PRO-L20 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I'm doing spray painting at TAFE(Automotive) at the moment. It's good to know how to do it. The lecturer guy was painting someones mercedes. He said the TAFE is doing it for around 4-5k but if you wanted it done anywhere else around 7.5k+. That was for a stock white. Looks like labour is a huge factor in the prices.

Sumo Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Spray painting wouldn't be a bad trade to get into at all. But like with any job, if someone can do it cheaper they usually rush and alot of "ahh she'll be right" goes on. If someone comes in and says 1/2hr is all that job should take (i am 2nd yr apprentice auto elec), all the things get done to make that job work, but the planning and finishing touches just go out the window - You do your best, but 9 times out of 10 you can come up with a better way of wiring something up if you have a think about it - then if you were to use a generic base wiring idea you have set in your head. People find that the cheapest price usually bites them hard.

PRO-L20 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I'm not planning on doing spray painting as a trade. It's part of a course which involves 10-11weeks of automotive spray painting, mechanical/electrical and panel beating (thats 10-11wks on each trade)... Panel beating.. I can fix drift damage? lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/71925-price-of-respray/page/4/#findComment-1339875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiQuid IcE Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 just to clarify, does 'off the gun' mean they can get a shiny finish without buffing after the spray? this is the first ie heard of it, so spraying and then buffing afterwards is the dodge way of doing it is it? why cant all panel beaters spray off the gun?? is it a special skill?? special equiptment?? also is an oven essential when spraying a car??

Dahtone Racing Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 an off the gun paint job is exactly that, the car is painted and then thats it no buffing is required because there is no orange peel and imperfections in the paint. its a skill of the painter and they need top quality and well maintained tools and yes a spray booth is essential IMO Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/71925-price-of-respray/page/4/#findComment-1405583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahtone Racing Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 flow coating is when they cut back your clear and re clear it but they do a heavy wet coat so it comes out really really shiney Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/71925-price-of-respray/page/4/#findComment-1405601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
