hey all
sorry I have been in melb on course for two weeks.
Anyway I have since got two people to come out, have a look and give me a quote. they both said around the $5000 mark incl bead blasting.
Funny thing is the first guy who quoted $10k was going to take short cuts that the other two were not. Such as not fully painting the door jamb insides as "they are not really seen all the time"
the latter two both have an alright name and one of them wants to paint it up for a magazine quality shoot as he wants the business spread around.
sounds like a good option to me.....
cheers

Hi Rick and Jimmy etc,
Sorry for the late reply on this - I was at a conference all last week.
When I was looking at getting my car done, I would have thought $4g
tops would have done it, but it seems the story is quite different in
reality. At the same time I got mine done, a knowledgable friend got his
job quoted extensively. He had done all prep - all that was required
was final touchup and the actual spray - he paid $4g for the work, and
this was in acrylic.
$10g does sound excessive, but at the same time the quote appears to
be quite thorough (including whole body sand blasting etc). I would
approach him with an aim of what result you were envisaging and an
idea of what you can afford, and see if a mutual agreement can be
negotiated - this is what I did and worked out well, with me doing pretty
much all nonspecia! ! list work, leaving more money for the panelbeater
to do stuff which will directly affect the end result.
Experiences I have heard about that have resulted in nice jobs have
been in the $6g ballpark. Someone else who may give some info is
David Andrews who is currently going through the process of getting
his 1600 done.
