I wonder how many coats they put on and if they prime it. That alone is not cheap so I don't know how they are going it for the price they are quoting.

Yeah I know aye..
What I've been thinking is they probs have an apprentice or something and get him to practice on the car? lol.
I've been on the phone with them twice now. Will make my way down there sometime next week to sus the place out.
I also want a guarantee on the work done just in case they totally screw things up!

The time will come soon.
When people talk about their cars and say "next week", just multiply that by 10 haha.
I want to try get my car in there sometime in the next two weeks.

Pics Will defs be posted once the job is complete.

At the moment though I'm contemplating whether I should go for a metallic black or gun metal :'(

from the looks of your avatar your paint looks pretty good already?

Yea I know it does but that was just after a good polish. The rear is fine anyway. The roof is badly faded, both fenders are starting to fade and the spolier is fading a little. Also, the skirts have some scratches and so does the front bumper. And the average chip and scratch here and there.

i might have to go down and sus it out i need my car resprayed i didint decide to do it myself..

Yea the place is in bayswater.
It's only $599 if the body is 100% straight. So make sure you fix all your dents and have everything pretty much 100%
Also, they tape over everything. I will be stripping the fto of everything before it is sprayed...none of this taping over door handles etc etc.

Are you going to tape around the rubber on the windows

or take them out also

If it is a total change of colour, I would recommend taking all windows and rubber off as you do not want to see a hint of the original colour...

Yea Im going to remove absolutely everything that's removable. The only thing about a colour change is they will charge extra to do inside of doores etc etc..
