Passion 5th Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Hi guys, need you guys advise. How much to respray a car? last thursday, a contractor doing a spray painting job at my workplace, the paint particle fall onto my car. He has offer to send my car to polishing and I agree, but after polishing the some of the particle still there. The polisher said the paint may have eat into my paint work. Now, I'm offered respray. Thinking of bringing it back to toyota. I called up toyota and he quoted me $4300 to respray the whole car back to same colour. To me, I think it's a crazy price. So now you guys pls help, I heard of Lye design, is it good? Else, anywhere else got good one? Try to keep it to AMK or Sin Ming area. Thanks in advance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Turbocharged March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Since you are not the one paying, why bother the high cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion 5th Gear March 29, 2011 Author Share March 29, 2011 Since you are not the one paying, why bother the high cost. Don't want to sabotage him lah. He paying for all the polishing for all the cars there. Estimated 20 to 30 cars paint work stained by the spray paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_RIDE_DEEP 2nd Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 To answer ur question directly, I would suggest Sze Kang at Amk autopoint. You can google the contact number. But honestly, if someone is paying for it I would take the borneo quote and spray there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion 5th Gear March 29, 2011 Author Share March 29, 2011 I agree. But they quoted 4.3k to respray? Reasonable mah? They give a inch, we cannot demand too much mah. I mean got to be fair to them since they didn't argue and readily try to make compensation. But 4.3k I personally think too much, so I don't want to kar them.

Vega Turbocharged March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 2k should be enough to spray the whole car unless yours is a SUV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Yep, cut people some slack. He has already offered to pay for the respray. $4300 is ridiculous. Which area do you want? I done my van up at Hwa Seng Spray Painting at Sin Ming. Actually there got quite a lot of spray paint workshops. You might want to drop by there.

Passion 5th Gear March 29, 2011 Author Share March 29, 2011 exactly,so i wondering any one got feedback about lye design? I heard that one buay pai. To me, If I can save him 2k, I'll ask him to sign a indemity form that if within 1 year the paint deteriorate, which is unlikely, he will have to do it again. He has to take the gamble and can spend another 2k for the rest of the car which is affected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Lye design doesn't do spray painting himself anyway. He's more to panel beating. He pass the spray painting job to Phua Spray Painting on the same floor at AMK Autopoint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pass the spray painting job to Phua Spray Painting on the same floor at AMK Autopoint. Tks for the info. I knew Lye design panel beat my vehicle and then passed to a partner. At least now I know who was the one doing the good spraying job. In my books so far, I will only goto Lye design (and indirectly Phua ) or Sze Kang. Have tried some others with unexpected results.

U should ask the sprayer to give u a warranty on the spray job instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
