Spraypainter wanted in auckland

[skidMark]

Hey guys i figure there are some panel and paint guys on here... not after a bargain of a deal etc just after a decent quote to paint my car, a shop today told me 3 grand + paint, this was with me having done all the prep work... bogged... primered and sanded ready to spray...

i would like to do the full body on it, but at minimum the body, doors... boot...bonnet and a small amount of the inside (where door goes into main body, a bit of the dashboard... not fussed about inside the boot...

as i say i can do all the prep then all i need is it sprayed, anybody able to give me a rough quote?

prefer auckland because i dont want to be trailering the shell around the entire north island...

Cheers: Skid...

as you can see its not exactly a large car, i thought 3k was extremely excessive given prep work would be done...

If you are going to to do all the prep why don't ya paint it yourself?.
3k gives you alot of paint to play with if ya fuck up the 1st,2nd,3rd time.....

problem is with spray painting is they will have to do all the prep and filling again. Cos if they dont and it comes out crap, you will blame them for the poor finish over your poor prep.

Leave it to the experts. If you can prep it to their standards, like Nallac says do it yourself, get the experience and have some dosh left over . aye


But why would you on a piece of crap BMC 1100

at least it goes ..ay Doc should be more reliable than some

yes as Doc says, they most likely don't want you to do prep as theres no recourse for them if theres come back due to poor prep or miss match in
paints from primer to top coat.....

For the money they are asking, do it yourself....as i've said 3k+ gives ya alot of paint to play with especially since you can use the old mans gear.

etc etc
they said 5k if they did the prep... POS BMC 1100...

I can shoot it for a lot less. Thinking it might be a bit much for the .45 but maybe the 7mm.08 should be fine.

You are fuckin kidding aren't you? Why would you turbo a bowl of porridge? Don't get me wrong, I have owned one of these[They handle like crap when they are new!] and several mini's[Which do handle] But a pumpkin? You know you will have to change the suspension and brakes? And then when you have finished it will be worth fuck all. Seriously, get an old MG GTB or Spitfire or something that will at least look cool! Also, wouldn't you be doing the paint job last? ie After you have done your transplant?*shudder*
BTW, I wasted a lot of money and time hotting up an old Vanguard when I was your age. That's how I know. Wish I'd bought a bike instead.
