Nice work. Throw up some more in-progress pics of the paint job!

Would love to get my bonnet resprayed. But have asked around a few panel beaters and have been quoted over $700. Just for a bonnet!

thanks mate, $700 does sound a bit steep, but it all depends on the condition (dents, chips) and if there are paint defects (flakeing, crazing etc) and type of paint (pearl, metallic, solid). for $700 sounds like bare-metaling might be involved, what area in melbourne are you in?

I'm in the northern suburbs. Bonnet is straight as. No dents, no paint flaking, no cracks etc. Just a shitload of stonechips. I might try touching em up and giving it a cut to smooth out the touchup blobs.

The rest of the car is perfect. The paints in awesome condition for it's age. Helps when I polish it every month.
