I have seen many cars at car shows with hopeless paint jobs. All you need know a days to enter a car at a car show is the entry fee.

You want a top quality job done then unfortunately it will cost you top money. As quality takes experience and ALOT of time, thus why it is expensive.

If you want a great job contact YLWGTR2 (Troy) or ask Mavric which panel shop his car is at.

That's true, but the boys I'm referring to have produced some very nice work, and don't charge top dollar. Sure, Top Money= Top Job, but it can be done for less dosh as well......e.g the MACHNE 200sx, made front cover of HPI, if I told you how much that spray job cost u guys would call me a liar.

Last time i checked, you can't get onto magazine covers with an entry fee.....

ive seen some real bad cars on covers of magazines recently

it seems like they are running out of cars to feature so they just pick any shitbox.

anyway back on topic

ive seen lots of cheap paint jobs look good from pics and from the distance

but once you come up close you find fish eyes, sink back, buff marks etc etc etc

but thats wat you get for a cheap job i guess

Well i got a quote for around $1800 for a 2 pak colour change respray of outside panels and door jams only including fixing of minor dints all around and scratches.

Sounds about right.

After all its not a "COMPLETE" spray job, i.e panels, door jams, under boot carpet, engine bay, underbody.

Never heard of or seen any of their work before.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
