Guest Andrew Report post Posted September 7, 2003 I'm looking to get my car resprayed the same color. Basically what I want to know is what is involved in prepping the car, obviously I want to do it myself. What kind of price am I looking at to get the car painted the same color? (not nessarcerily the BMW color "Henna Red" which probably costs $$$ but something that matches it.) Anyone recommend some good Auckland shops to go check out?

Homy.D.Clown 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 Yeah..3k...and thats with you doing some of the work yourself? EEEKK Aucks pirces are so harsh! and red....man thats like tghe worst colour for sun fade...pigment gets hammered in the harsh UV. pitty your not in hammy..could do you a deal as for whats involved.. striping every possible attachment you can and depending on you original paint quality you can either give it a light scratch up with some fine sandpaper(just to get the gloss off and have something for the new paint to stick to).. or bare metal strip and prime/paint . like if your happy with your body work and just want a fresh look it wont be too much of a biggie..its when you have to do rust/dents etc that time gets burnt. In case you didnt know im a panelbeater(i prefer automotive rehabilitation tech') Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
