I'd have a look around your local area at a few sprayers' workshops, looak at some of the sprayed cars in the carpark and try to suss out which u think do the best work for a reasonable price. I ended up paying heaps for my Senator, but they did a great job... PM if u want details... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What colour? Doing it the same colour? 2Pac or Acrylic? Whole car full respray or just outer shell (doors, boot, roof etc)? Will you be rubbing and prepping the caror will the painter be doing it? How much are you looking at spending?

They had the car for two weeks, and the last two days it was there, all they did was have an apprentice buffing it! Not sure how much less it would be if you BYO paint.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

bronze in colour ... and to do the bumpers (silver) just to make the car looking clean

I think that Auto1, Supercheap auto and bunnings do paint jobs. Go there and ask for 30 cans of matt black spray paint and a roll of masking tape. Carl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Go to bellevue man they are the best and steve knows vl's back to front.

I know what your sayin......... .. for just a rub and paint would usually run about about $2-3K no engine bay or door jambs thats a fair price............

thats fair enough places out there can quote u cheap but how good of a job do they do mate, like i got quoted $1500 for re spray on the out side, not saying where from but if u see there jobs ull laugh ur head off, ull get what u pay for these days. thats it.

Yeah I know what yours sayin I've seen my fair share of paint jobs I could only describe as "KEBAB" LOL man I've done $12K paint jobs and sh*t been there done that! if your a fussy c*nt like me you can still pick em depends on what you can be satisfied with?

Yeh you couldnt of said that any better haha....

paint it yourself, or get a mate that can paint to do it

supa cheap here we come LOL

For a decent paintjob at bellevue your looking at 8G......go to some lebbos get it done and you will pay 3-4G and you will be selling the car soon enough or taking it back to a decent painter to get it done properly. Thats just if your a fussy c*nt.....if you dont really care and just want something that looks good on the street....then go for a cheaper one. The cheaper one will still look good , but its the fine details like little runs and pits and stuff, and the way everything is put back together that will set them apart.
