There is a few places that do the kits, but non genuine kit's don't look or fit as good as genuine ones, but genuine ones are megabucks in good condition. Just ring around to any of the local spoiler shops, they should be able to put you onto someone that does them, and keep an eye on www.tradingpost.com.au (http://www.tradingpost.com.au) as they pop up in there from time to time. To re-spray you car could cost as little as $2000 or as much as $10,000. It all depends on what colour paint you want and how far in preperation you want to do (eg bare metal, new window/door seals etc) But to get a good looking finish that will last for a while you would need to spend a decent amount of money.

Well up here in brisbane I got quoted for walkinshaw bits and peices... Walky Front bar - $400 Walky Back bar - $400 Walky Sides - $ 200 p/side Walky Door peices $200 p/side of car Boot Wing and Back window - $400 Bonnet Mould - $400 All up it comes to $2400 in the raw, then to Paint and Fit of course depends on the Paint ie 2pac/Metalic/Pearl or even Harli 8O Basically the guy said he could do be a package of around $5,500 to fit and paint a full walky kit in Ice Metallic Blue/ not bar metal just sand and prep body and remove any dints but my body is straight so..also including new front window moulds and rubber. He claims these peices to be 'Authentic' however i'm doubtfull, but thats in brisbane, and from the looks of prices our prices we seem to be more expensive than anywhere else so... Hope it kinda helps...good luck

Have you seen the Walky wagon on the site? Belongs to a mate of mine. and he had to have the rear bumper modified to take the hole for the number plate out as it's in the tailgate in wagon's. It looks sweet though. Check it out here http://www.walkinshaw.net/replicas/noregrets Sam is the owner of Beware. Send him a PM about the cost of Harlequin paint.

yeah bro ive seen the wagon. it not too shabby eh. from the photos black doesnt really do it for me- mind you the photos probably dont do it justice and its looks a whole lot better close up. i actually thought i would be the first one to walky kit a wagon BUT NO! ah well atleast ill be the first to put together the combo im doing. twice (including today ) i have seen a harlequin walkinshaw sedan cruising round. problem is you almost cant tell its harlequin. i was following it for 10 minutes driving all over the road trying to get better viewing angles before i realised it may have been harlequin. it was painted in one of those darker and hard to notice harlequin colours. didnt really work for it but phat anyway Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

walkie17 - Good luck trying to get someone to match the harlequin paint. I think you'll find that most panel beaters won't even try to match it cos it is so hard to do. You may have to respray the whole car to get the right effect from the paint.
