    Default Painting Costs.

    hey guys as im going to be respraying my car i was wondering if anyone knows anywhere in the syd region that would be good for paint and a lil body work/rust(old owner said he got it all out),

    so i have herd of something like dj auto restorations or something that can do good cheap jobs,
    i went to a banel beater and to get rid of some rust, mould the 2 rear bolton flairs on better and paint a differnt colour would cost me about 4-5g i felt that was kinda point less as the car isnt really worth much more,

    its not going to be a show car so i dont really mind on how good it is but i still want it to look kinda clean

    cheers calluummmmm.

    im after the exact same thing and would also like to know if anyone has had any good experience with someone in the sydney area? Let me know callum if you end up going somewhere, may be able to get it done cheaper with the promise of two jobs??
    I have been looking at a few places, mostly restoration shops. Smash repairers dont particullarly like to take on rust jobs, and also like to use bog, whereas i would like a bit more of a cut and weld job.
    ive found two places that im keen to check out that seem like they would be ideal for what im after, first: - for some reason link isnt working, but they seem like they have a pretty good setup for what im after.
    Second:
    Anyway, let me know how you go.
    Cheers

    Check out the NSW section.

    From my research it will probably cost you more than 4000 for a decent size rust job with paint.
