/\ would you mind telling me whats actually getting done by your mate in detail
just curious as thats a good price. obviously mates rates aside.
cheers

 
Basic respray really, ill be rubbing some bits back and fixing some of the little dints ive got here n there. Then ill be getting it reprayed the same basic colour (red). As i said, mates rates but its a diy garage so pretty much for the price of the paint and small fee to hire the spray booth anyone could come out n paint their car with a professional assisting where needed. The whole workshop is the same way, i reckon its a brilliant idea. 
 
Sorry to hijack thread.

Sounds interesting, im at springfield lakes.
 
My car was previously owned by a "racer". It had "Midnight Racing" on both doors and the passenger headlight. Well, he decided to remove the badges, which ruined the paint in those sections. Also a ding or two on the bonnet. I dont know whether it is cheaper to repaint the car, or replace the doors and headlight, maybe bonnet :)
 
Id upload pics, but the upload kept failing.

Im only around the corner near brookewater. If you want ill introduce you to my mate and we can see what he'll charge to fix it up. 

Yeah, sure. I'd like a idea either way.

Hey Matt, I may be interested in this also. Are you going the stock colour or is it possible to whip out something a little special? Clear coats etc?

Im thinking of going a more red, red. Mines got a bit of an orange tinge to it (not stock). Id like something like the red off the new vw golf and probably a handfull of clear coats. I figure if im going to paint the whole car i may as well go for a colour i like. I wont be painting inside of door jams etc to keep the costs down. 

Have a look at the mazda velocity red , it really is a stunning colour.

check this link out for some of my recent work.

Send me an email with pics to sth.east.customs@gmail.com and I will quote you up.

I got mine done by 'Scratch & Match' in Bayswater.
Got quotted $2500 for whole car including panel work and open door spray for a Gloss colour and $3500 for a perl. I ended up getting a gloss with perl mix, cost me $3300 in the end with a bit of panel work done here and there, have a look at some of my pics, they pretty **** pics but you can see its a good job!
