Title: Spray Painter in Sydney ? Post by: Holden2009 on October 20, 2009, 01:46:14 PM Gday Fellas,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good spray painter in Sydney ? Someone who doesnt mind working on old Holdens ;) Would even be interested in a 'backyard' spray painter (acrylic) ... yes - you can get good results (acrylic) this way with an experienced trademan behind the spray gun ... Has anyone had a respray done lately? What did it cost you? What did you have done - inside / outside / engine bay. Where did you get it done ... private or a paint shop. ?? Thx, JD.

Has anyone got info on (aproximate) costs .... it would be good to get an idea for what is 'realistic' $$$ at the moment. JD. Title: Re: Spray Painter in Sydney ? Post by: GM on October 20, 2009, 06:28:49 PM $80 an hour was my quote. Adds up fast.

How much did they quote you all up ---- and what were you having done? Did you go with the quote? Title: Re: Spray Painter in Sydney ? Post by: mcl1959 on October 20, 2009, 09:02:25 PM JD, it depends on the finish you want - Prices would range from about $3000 for a rub down, straighten up & paint to $30000 for a bare metal show class inside and out respray.
Major decision is whether you want bare metal start and what type of finish you want. Ken Title: Re: Spray Painter in Sydney ? Post by: Holden2009 on October 20, 2009, 10:34:32 PM gday Ken ...
my body is dead straight ... so no work required in that area. Not looking for a bare metal respray. Just looking for a fresh coat of paint in the same colour -- as you put it "rub down, and paint" Ive got about 3K-4K to spend .... so dont know if this is unrealistic expecting to get inside and out done in a spray shop ???? ??? JD. Title: Re: Spray Painter in Sydney ? Post by: GM on October 21, 2009, 04:33:01 PM A few rust repairs and a slight bit of damage to the tailgate. Unfortunately have to get a few panels painted, including the roof. Possibly up to 5k worse case. I will forget the money one day, but I think the car deserves a good job. Got mucked about by people and promises, but hopefully in 3-4 weeks It'll be finished and I can bolt on the new chrome. Will look great. Can't wait.
