what do you guys recon it will cost to get a respray done on my lux??
ill rub the current paint work back myself etc but just want a nice job done with the paint and a few clear coats over the top.

i know i could do it myself but id prolly bugger it up big time.

im just waiting for the first paint roller comment...

there are som eof those cheapo places that will do a car for about $500. I reckon on a 4wd that will get used and scratched etc not a bad way to go if you want to change the looks on the car.

yeah its only the cab that is begin sprayed

its going to be a nice holden orange color like the old monaros and toranas
or maybee a little brighter like the tnt courier vans
just depends on what my mate decides to paint his ht monaro with
and well get the same paint

*rattle* *rattle* *rattle* *rattle* *rattle* *rattle*

oh man now everyone is going orange, I might have to find another new colour

yeah i would murry but if i ever want to sell it i want a semi decent job
there is way to many bugs and dust floating round my place to get a nice finish

500 should well and truly cover it, if you're completing the body work and supplying the materials!

i rubbed all my zuk back primed it
then took it to the local spray painter
he painted it in a booth (sp?)
no runs no bugs in the paint
for $300 i supplyed the paint

no one in hobart will respray a car unless you pay $2000 to $6000.

funny you mention the bugs as one landed on mine on my last coat of clear. he is now fosilized.

Those prices are so cheap. That is what I would have done!!

those prices sounds pretty good to me .

HIDDEN BLING $ BLING $
Its OK to say that $300--$500 is a good price but remember that good qual paint will cost any where between $500 --$800 so remember the hidden costs. but go for it as i'm at the same stage F@CKIN hate wet rubbing primer but a blokes gotta do something while BIG BOTHER is on the set inside so its not so bad , I"m doing my lux blueprint blue

Where is Anna Bay

Know anywhere in Sydney that would do it for $300 ?

I was thinking matt black with no clear coat, for easy touch ups

Matt black is a cop magnet. They really don't like it as it is an unsafe colour, hard to see in inclement weather. I have had mates with matt black cars pulled up and given canaries before so probably stay away from it

that $300-$500 is to get someone to paint it after you have bought all the materials.

How about going for an original look? Sand it back and then just get it clear coated?
