3 SERIES 93 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 Hi Just wondering if anyone has painted their bumpers and side skirts to match their car? There is not alot that really has to be painted. Wondering what an approximate price would be to do his. Anyone in Wellington want a perk job Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surge 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2007 Cheap. Where, when and quality? Cheers. Christchurch, Don't have my car this week (to check the invoices) as ironically mum is using it while her e30 is at the panel beaters. These prices are standard of the panel beaters around here, In CHCH I recommend DT Panel and Performance (71 Byron St) - Quality is very good, I couldn't fault the job on mums car (so far!) very impressed, no runs, machine marks or anything.

Jesus...got quoted 1K for mine done... I it was 1K because I was looking at 300 for front and 300 for rear and 300 for sides and then 100 for taking them off the car to be painted then fitted again... Did I just get a ripped quote? Or is that how they do things in North Shore? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is that how they do things in North Shore? Always get atleast 3 quotes, then hit the middle priced option. If you can get to Onehunga, maybe remove parts yourself etc, try out "Goldsmith Panel & Paint" -- did work on my subbie and two bimmers, I recommend there price, and workmanship is good. (Can be a little rough like not cleaning interior from paint dust, but nothing major to get out the air gun!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right...that made me feel better lol... Got my quote from: http://www.precisionautowerk.co.nz/ Went to get the quote today...service was very good...looked professional and the the lobby was better than you average hotel...lol I mean who would put an antique Porsche Speedster as the centre piece? The client manager did say "we can have coffee in the lobby while you wait..." I suppose thats the kind of service you get when you pay that price? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliluya 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2007 It costed $250 here in dunedin to get my skirt front and rear bumper colour coded. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madandy 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2007 We paid $250 to have this exact same job done on a Primera about 3 years ago. Was a perfect colour match by professional painter. Has lasted 3 years with no sign of peeling - saw her just this afternoon. Will be getting quotes to do the same on our new 328i sedan this week here in Tauranga from shop that's touched up the front bar on our GT-R... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you get a look around the workshop out the back? Because its the cleanest place I think I've seen, and the equipment they have is the latest. Actually Highly recommended from me and the people I know who have had work done from them. A quote of 1k from them is about right for the job you want. And they will do it to the highest standard.

I completely agree that it is worth paying for quality. But, is it really worth spending $1k on something that will have a negligible return when you go to sell your vehicle?

No of cause not...Had a long thought....Lets say if I had totally smashed the front and required new body kits...I might as well get a M Kit and get it done there...but theres nothing major...so yea...

madandy 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2007 Just got quoted $180 for the front, sides, rear bumper & lower 'diffuser' bit. Guaranteed for life of the paint. Think we'll get them to spray us an M3 front bumper too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted September 16, 2007 Wholly crap thats cheap. I am real keen to find somewhere that does it that cheap around here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madandy 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2007 I know! And that's with them sanding the strips, using proper primer/undercoat for that type of plastic, masking and blending. They garantee the colour match and that the paint will remain stuck where it belongs for years. We just got our GT-R lower lip back from them and its as good as new Our family has sent a bit of business thier way with Sharons dad dealing in the odd used car exchange but not to a great economic value so that price is hardly what you'd call 'mates rates'. I think some places have a rediculous hourly rate for such a simple job, hence the high prices some quote They're panel beaters & spray painters not investment bankers, doctors or I.T. wizards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
