Hey.
Well depends what type of paint your going to use depends on costs. I'll give a approx price to what its cost me so far for a 2 PAC bare metal respray.
(1) Paint Stripper - all up prob ($100) for panels, doors, bonnet etc
(2) Sand Blasting - engine bay ($140)
- around the edges of the doors, (20each)
- hatch ($20)
- hinges ($20 for all)
(3) Rust repair and panel beating - ($250) Mates Rates
(4) Applying 2 pac etch primmer
(5) Applying 2 pac High Fill ($350, for 4 and 5) ($60 for etch primmer about 3 litres) ( $130 for 6 litres of hifill) Mates Rates.
thats all that im up to on my car, but heres what needs to be done after highfill.
(6) Blocked back ($???)
(7) paint applied ($300 , wrx paint is about that, for paint 4litres, not sure how much to put the paint on yet)
(8) Clear coat applied. ($100)
*If you dont have heaps of time, dont bother with sand paper. Get it sand blastered and the panels paint stripped.
* get a proffessional to do the rust and the panel beating, dont even bother attempting it unless you know what your doing. Otherwise the end result will be shit house.
* 2 pac etch primmers can only be sold to smash repairs joints etc, cause you cant do it out side a booth some EPA crap i think and if some one sells it to you they can be fined like 5 grand.
* Get a pro to block it back otherwise it will look wavy when the paint is on!
* Cost of thinners all so applies.
* Preparation is the key to a excellent finish.
* My labour is mostly mates rates as my girl friend hooked me up with her next door neighbour who has been painting for 12years or so. And i must say he has done a excellent job.
I hope I havent left anything out! Hope this helps.
