help me my car is gay!!!
ok, so i've got my eye on a VN commodore i see round here for sale, only thing is it's got bonnet pins.
the paint looks good so i don't want to just chuck a whole new bonnet on it, what's the deal with getting pins removed and the holes filled?
how much would this (and a repsray of the area needed) cost me?

Probably be cheaper buying a new bonnet and spray that. Their pretty bloody cheap.

yeah but i figured painting smaller bits to match would be cheaper than doing the whole thing
still, could be hard to spot colour match.

Mate there is no such thing as spot matching, trust me I colour match for a living. Your comparing new and old paint, just get the whole bonnet done it won't be that expensive.
If you want to save some money rub it all back yourself beforehand.

Ive rang a few places recently to get a quote to spray my bonnet and rear bar, most quotes were around the 500-600 mark for both.
One dude said $300 per panel, so theres a benchmark for you.
just remember if you spray a whole bonnet you will have to blend the tops of the guards to get the color %100 even if its a solid color
Fussy buggers. Near enough is good enough on a VN, so long as it's got the pressumed 5 litre you've been looking for in it, no ones going to care about the paint or the bonnet pins
oh really?Fussy buggers. Near enough is good enough , no ones going to care about the paint or the bonnet pins
are bonnet pins Gay??
Yes bonnet pins are gay but hes been looking for a 5 litre for so long, he can just chuck a different colour bonnet on it from the wreckers for all I care
