Title: Anyone in Qld a good painter? Private job? Post by: buddha on February 06, 2006, 07:52:37 AM Hey guys, looking two paint may wagon. Its a daily driver so I'm not after a show job, rather a nice acrylic original period style job. She damn straight and virtually rust free. Looking for two tone white over blue etc. I know there are a lot of handy guys on this site that now how to paint early holdens in their sleep. I'll pay cash and even be a gopher if u want, Any answers on price or info on a mate of a mate etc would be a great help. I would do it myself but I love the old girl and she needs an experienced set of hands. Cheers.

Have a go at it yourself Acrylic is very forgiving, I did my own wagon in Acrylic at home in garage. It was not hard at all as long as you prep it well. I was give prices ranging from $6000 up to $10000 but these were for 2 pack ended up costing me less than $1000 to do it myself. Also with the V8 conversion you were asking about in another post, I put a chev v8 in my wagon again all the work was done at home by myself. Its was easy given the amount of Info avaliable here on the forum. I couldn't imagine the amount it would have cost to get someone to do this for me paying them an hourly rate.

Yep I agree with Glenn, have a go yourself - it's not too hard. The cost of air compressors and spray guns are getting cheaper (should be less than $500) and you will still have the equipment for future projects. Andrew |
