Spray job?

[Vision Zetec]

hey guys,

just out of interest has any EA-ED owner got their car sprayed a color from the BA range?

if yes could i please see a pic and let me know how much it cost,

cheers

Daniel

I believe your looking at around 2k+ depending on colour also depends on the labour if your going to prep it and if your going to buy the paint stuff like that??

[-jjM-]

it be prity much $2000 grand including labour, and just goes up from there, we didnt EDXR6T car at home, n after doin it u know y they charge for the labour

paint and accseories are the cheapest bits probly lol

[Damo]

Sunnys cars is envi Daniel. : There is a blueprint EA in the summernats thread that John made, it looks nice.

Full respray including door jams and boot etc you would be looking at 4 k + for a pro to do a good job on it, anything under that and they would be taking shortcuts i reckon.

[gthofan]

are we talking about 2 pack paint or acrylic

[chich]

Got a quote for a full respray on the EF from a mates uncle (including a full strip of the roof because the damn clear has lifted) $4K.. everyone else varied from $6-10K

[snypereb]

6-10k means they really dont want to do it but if your willing to pay that much they will lol

[EDXR6T]

deppend on the job u want to

personally im glad i got the stuff at home to do it my self(and i did;)
coz dont no wu t u get half the time wen u go to a spray shop

but yer depends on paint, if u strip it, full body, clean coat
all adds up i wouldent pay n e more then 3500

[crannersEL]

How much is all the time that youve put into your car worth tho Pat, you know that youve done it all correctly and to a high standard. Where as the paint shops may do a half *** job on both the clean/sand back and also the paint work.

As ppl say, thats my 5cents worth

Postman pat, damn it takes 3 reviews of your post to work out what you say when im tired :P

Curious, how did your paint come out? Were you able to bake the paint like a shop or did you just air dry. Im just curious as I know painting stuff at home, nothing ever comes out the same as the rest of the car (and I should know :P look at me 23 shades of blue mist)

spot on. A lot of places don't do full resprays because it's such a big job and isn't worth their time. Painting a full car in and out is a pain in the ***. If you can find a place that will do it, $4000 is about the going rate for a decent job. Anything less than $3000 and they'll be short-cutting all over the place such as spraying straight over handles, not priming certain parts etc. It'll look good when you drive it out of the panel shop then after a few months bits will start flaking off and paint will chip easily.

[gthofan]

well that doesnt say much for the $599 respray place in bayswater. god it must be a dodgy spray job

[Racecraft]

it'd cost you $600 in just 2 pac base coat and clear coat paints for a decent finish.

Yeah I've always laughed at that, have you seen the car that 'advertises' it too?? A ИИИИty old Sigma or something with four or so different colours :MrT_anim:

[gthofan]

yep on bayswater rd and canterbury rd. hahahaha
its a sigma wagon, the paint is faded, smashed windows and spider webs all over it. i laugh at it too

lol That place isn't too bad, Tiga_EL's car was painted there.

[gthofan]

really? do they do inside the door trims for that price, and has he had n e probs with it?

[needfordspeed]

Nah no door trims or engine bay, just the outside he can give you more details when he see's this thread!

[EFFalcon]

isnt it like $599 + materials etc?
more if the panels need work? etc etc.

[Tiga_EL]

Yup.. they dont do a show quality job but whos complaining when you pay $599. i had my exterior painted in 2pac tiga mica, plus handles, front and rear bar, side moulds and side mirrors aswell, which was obviously extra. So far the only problem i have had with them was they didnt fix the holes in the roof properly, but other than that im happy with it. I got the door jams and boot done after coz they wanted 750. The paint hasnt flakedoff anywhere yet, and i do have some pics of when it was being painted..

[gthofan]

i just went to euro paint in bayswater, after nearly killing myself on the front step, got a quote to respray my bonnet and 2 front guards.
They quoted me $950. heres the run down
paint- $450
dents RH guard- $30
chips, and scratches, $50
Oxidised paint bonnet- $150
retape badges - $30
parts remove and refit (bonnet only) -$120
mettalic paint red (its actually rosewood thank you) $120
is this a good price, to have professionally done, because i can get materials for $130
and have bloke charge me $50 in labour, he's a panel beater by trade, but using acrylic paint, where europaint use 2-pack

[Tiga_EL]

I dont recommend going acryllic, it just looks plain and weird if the rest of the car isnt acryllic, and it does stand out. I reckon get a new guard if need be and get them to just spray the whole car over in the same color. If you got that quote from one of the spray painters, i recon talk to the manager (roy i think) he is pretty negotiable on price.

[gthofan]

i spoke to shane, i mentioned u tiga_el, and he remembered your car. found out i was from the club aswell, so hes taking a note of where cars come from.
well back to topic, was my car originally 2-pack in the factory, or what are they sprayed in?? because acrylic rosewood mettalic is $50. so how much would 2 pack set me back a litre?

[Tiga_EL]

gtho fan theres this paint place near you and it aint far from europaint either. its in Laser Drive, and i bought some paint from there. The guy that works there is also a panel beater and he did the door jambs for me.

[gthofan]

hmm is that the one on dorset road, um auto paints i think it is, right next door to the servo, its a new shop, or this place on laser drive, what is it called??

I suppose they've got nothing to loose so doesn't matter to them either way.. In a sense i was expecting to be quoted a ridiculous price (and 10K is definitely is) because its a place thats known to repair/paint top end european cars. He quoted $1600 to just remove and refit the door handles and bumpers lol....
