Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 Dude, that looks AWESOME! I need the new E39 bumper done at some point, and it could use a few touch ups too! Have to wait until I have money though :-( Going back on one income soon and the Mrs is in the UK spending the savings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 Damn, $1500 for that? sh*t...wish you were a bit closer I'd be getting you to repaint my E30 (my mates failed big time when they were meant to paint it satin black, they made it mattblack and I left as -is ever since).

Wom 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2012 the paint has a few chips (with one real nasty chip on the bonnet) and scratch marks (the bonnet looks like someone has dragged something off it), paint on boot is very swirly, and looks like rear end had been repainted before I had bought the car and wasn't done to a good standard (flaking and a bit of bubbling, not rusty though). So it would be a general tidy up of the paint, over the whole car I guess some of it could just be buffed out, but figured if I'm getting some of the car resprayed then maybe worthwhile just getting the whole thing done and having it all mint would be just after original paint colour (hellrot), so no special or custom made stuff required Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flick me a PM & i'll give ya a price. The price i give you is the price you pay, none of this quote price that "may" change without notice crap. I charge what i do because believe it or not after nearly 30 years of doing it i still enjoy doing it haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 Where are you based? Do you do minor panel work too? like door dents and minor scrapes - just need a skim of filler etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellicose 9 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 Where are you based? Do you do minor panel work too? like door dents and minor scrapes - just need a skim of filler etc. Yep i do panel work as well. This is what i dug out of the pillar behind drivers door (LHD) of that truck, yes it is an inch thick. Fixed it the best i could then put a skim of bog on it, came out well. I'm just south of New Plymouth so maybe a little far for ya, but dependant on what ya wanted doing it could be worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
