Can anyone recommend someone in Melbourne who can respray an FC ute in the original colour?

where can I get a tarp? I am looking to surprise my hubby for Christmas.

Thanks for your help

Hi Cleopatra,

Not sure on paint people in Melbourne (cos I dont live there).  Rare Spares should be able to supply a tarp - bloody expensive tho.  Rares have a couple of outlets in Melbourne - roxborough park and bayswater.

Buying a tonneau cover from Rares etc should be fine if the ute hasn't been modified but, if it has, quite often the studs which hold the cover in place have been moved, or more added, to help keep it down firmly. If this is possible the only way is to get one made up (take the car around for measurements). This will probably be cheaper and you get a choice of colours. Lots of places in the phone book will do this but here are a couple of the better known ones:

Eastern Auto Upholstery

Unit 5 200 Canterbury Rd Bayswater VIC 3153

Northern Motor Trimming & Upholstery
