I have been working on my ke35 coupe for around 5 years now.......and I am almost at the stage where it needs a paint job.

 

Any budding painters out there who would like to earn a few bob?

 

Or perhaps a recommendation from someone who has a place in mind?

 

Anything under $1,000 will be greatly appreciated.

By the way......I'm in Ipswich.....but will travel for the right price.

buy a 3hp compressor kit with spraygun and some paint. now practice. that's about all you're going to get for a grand mate

If you have the confidence give it a crack mate, if you have no idea theres a book HOW TO PAINT YOUR CAR its 35 bucks at most book stores

like jamie said buy or rent a compressor and spray gun with 1.8mm nossle if i remember correctly and make sure your car is preped good (no dents or rust)

spray it in primer that will be your trial run, make sure u add the correct amount of thinners to your paint and if u don't want to attempt it save some more money and get some quotes and compare I'm sure theres someone out there that will help you out mate good luck :(

I'd be happy to give it a shot, but I'd rather not. I have no equipment at the moment, and judging by the paint job on my car, I probably shouldn't be allowed to paint anyone elses cars...

do you have any pics we might be able to give you some advise on whats good or not :(

sorry my computer is playing up lol

I'm sure I will find someone willing to do it for me.

Thanks for the tips, guys........maybe I should buy the gear and try it myself.

I think I have one of those spray painting books, if you want to have a look through it. Doesn't tell you very much more than what you'd find on the Internet in a few hours though :)

We did this ourselves, cost around $300 in materials. We were given a booth to spray it in however.

Wow, where on earth did you get your paint? Considering red is one of the more expensive colors too... I think I paid about $150+ or so for my paint, but mine is untinted white and black which are really cheap. Then + primers and thinners etc, probably came up to about $300 or so

My first rolla cost me all up $250! :D

My mate resprayed it for me and I prepped the car before hand... paint was cheap (baked enamel...2 nice coats and a light rub back and buff) and it was one clean rolla :)

My first Rolla cost me a slab - for red with a couple of different pearls through it.

The club car was the same price - again for a custom mixed colour in 2 pak.

 

Gotta love mates rates :)
