Respray recommendations???

[HSV.421]

hi, in the process of getting my clubby resprayed same colour.
general condition pretty good just want a refreshened look, remove all stone chips and scratches and need to change colour of wing as it is not same as body.
Been quoted:
$5000 (backyard)-Sydney
$4500 (in shop)-Port macquarie

anyone recommend a place in sydney that does good work in a shop?
i can expect it to be round the $4000 mark but if i can get that price here in sydney instead of port macquarie it would be more convenient.

cheers for any input.

4000$ is very expensive mate.

[sweefu]

$4000 is not very exspensive for a full body respray mate. $4000 is a good price imo considering they are doing all the prep, masking, spraying etc.

[fkford]

:S i would NEVER pay that much

[slepar]

i know for sure id never pay 5000 for a back yard job

[westbad]

you get what you pay for with paint work.. pay peanuts get a shit job..
If you want a good job it will cost you $$$$

i know for sure id never pay 5000 for a back yard job

Over here in WA people are advertising in the local paper for standard re sprays of the same colour, with no panel beating........$500 - $1500..........

When i read the $4 - $5g further up, i was like.......OMG.

Is it a state thing maybe?

in Melbourne 2000$ would get you a decent paint job.. 4000+ is more for custom colours

it will cost over $1000 for half decent paint and materials just to do a same colour respray

[bloodyricho]

is that for 2PAC? shit good @pac can cost up to that just for paint and reducer etc.
I know an old bloke on central coast who does cash resprays (and he is a qualifed spray painter) cheap.
he's doing full respray in 2pac for me for $1200 but i am suppling paint.
is it solid or a metallic?

[westbad]

i wont use anything but 2pac.. acrylic paint is shite..

basecoat/colour alone can cost anywhere from $100-$500 a Ltr and you will need between 2.5-4Ltrs depending on the opacity of the colour
Then you have your clear/hardner/thinner/primer etc

cheers
