Painted VT boot garnish pics

[JSTCOZ]

Hey guys,

Looking to colour code paint my vt boot garnish, can't afford the whole vx and repaint and install and stuff.

Anyone know how much that'd cost to get professionally painted?
Also can someone show me some pics of there's if they have done it?

thanks very much

Hey, im looking at doing the same thing to mine... after i was driving behind a guy a few weeks back who had painted his vt garnish and it looked pretty good. Emailed a few places and seems to be around $70-90 to paint the vt garnish depending on color

Only that much? dang nice =). might buy a second vt garnish off someone and have a standard and have a coloured one. where are these pics mate? lol

Ive got mine painted in my ride thread same colour as urs 2, costs $150 2 paint but also 2 shave, bog and putty bits of the garnish aswell so wasnt just a simple prime and paint job.

I have seen it done a few times and it doesn't work - you get casting lines thru the paint. Save your pennies and buy a VX garnish too - looks way better.

Thats y u gotta prep the garnish properly coz if u dont as u say u can still see the reverse lights outline and where they have joined the back of the garnish 2 the front around the outer edges and also the word holden indented in the garnish. 2 get around this u gotta use knifing putty and bog and do some shaving also.

Ow nice man, what's your opinion on it all?

looks dam nice, way better than it did before... and a cheaper option than going the vx garnish - cant even tell the difference (apart from keyhole)

[wrx884]

Much better and even better reason u still got the key hole so if the boot actuator ****'s up u can still get in it specially if u got audio gear in there blocking the back seats only way in.

Hey Mayes, where did you get your Garnish painted.

Because im thinking of getting my VT garnish done due to not having a big budget and it would just be so much more convenient. Also did your place prep your garnish for you, or did you do that yourself.
Cheers

Place was called Paintworx, its in Edwardstown just off south rd. U can ask them to prep for you, prolly charge extra. Was $66 just to paint mine

saw a white vt today with the garnish painted dodgy and they left the reverse lights unpainted... looked horrible :S best bet is to get it done as well as mayes' or just get a vx one
cheers
