Spray Painting

[Butcher_hoe]

Hi Kakis,

 

Arising from a small corrosion on the left hand side of my EP70, it has been decided that I should get it fixed up and give my Lao Chio Bu a fresh coat of paint.

 

Anyone here with good experiences and would like to recommend a workshop for spray painting and fixing of panels, please drop me a PM or continue on with this thread, thanks!

Ok..I'm looking for starlet kakis with recommended workshops for my Lao Chio Bu's change in color.

 

I just went to one of the spray paint workshops in Woodlands last night, I was quoted $700 for full change in color, including interior...I managed to squeeze abit more into the $700 deal, and the boss has agreed to do the following:

 

1) Full change in color (every part that consists of the old paint will be sprayed with the new color, E.G: Places like the inside of the door where its not covered by the leather)

2) Spraying of Rims

3) Spraying of Bumpers

 

What do you guys think? I've yet to say yes to the boss..

full change in colour? meaning different colour from ur current one ah? sounds very good deal. usually 700-1k can only get u a new coat of paint of the same colour nia.

I don't know whats the market rate for spray painting. But yes, the workshop that I visited offered total change in color, including interior.

 

Currently still thinking whether to go for it...

make sure they use good paint then. 700+ is very cheap for a different colour of paint.

Oh yes definately, if I'm taking it up, I gota make sure that they use good quality paint with good finishing...

 

Anyways, will update you guys as it goes

 

Having a new color is almost like a birth of a new car

sounds like a very good deal, rims also spray that will be nice man, i also wanna spray my rims to another color lei ha ha...my front rims turned bronze from silver , rear still maintain silver ha ha

[Butcher_hoe]

Ok..after much consideration, I will be spraying the car with the original color which will cost alot lesser..

 

Its a more rationale and $ wiser considering that my Starlet only has 4 more years to go

[Artz]

do update the workmanship.

if it just $700 for color change + rim. i think it really value for $.

Hmmm, I'm going for:

 

1) Spraying of new coat of paint (Original Color)

2) Spraying of front & back bumper

3) Spraying of rims

 

I'm sending in my car for them to begin work on 15 Dec, it should be ready by 18 Dec. I'll post pre and post photos so you guys can judge the workmanship from the photos (though it'll be better to see the real thing before and after)

 

Afterwhich, if you guys are still interested, I can PM you the workshop's details. Its always better to visit the workshop with your car, that way they can judge and decide better on how much to charge you.

I've collected my car on 26 Dec 2009...I'm not showing photos because there's no obvious change in color...in the end, I only did mending of car body (a certain area of my side skirt had corroded), touch up of paint on rims to cover the scratches and chip offs.

 

I feel that the workmanship will be generally accepted as good, before the re-spray..I had lots of scratches, foreign paint marks, cracks on bonnet, front/back bumpers, kerb rashes on my rims..now, the whole car looks good..feels smooth to touch, and best of it all, it shines alot better than previously...

 

I'll try to get before and after photos anyways, just to let you guys have a look at how its like...
