ek front bar

[na-118]

dont get upset and ask to me to call up and ask, i just want to roughly know how much it is to paint front ek bar, its the aftermarket ones from racenation so obviously from primar to paint how much would it roughyl cost 300 bucks?

ur estimate is close, can even be cheaper

[Henessaayyy]

If you got time you can DIY, probably need 2-3 cans of primer, 3-5 cans of colour (depending on how fussy you are with coats & how good your coverage is) and then 2-3 cans of clear.

Adding that up, looks up to be ...
$110 + depending on how many cans you buy. Im sure if you buy more, you'll get a good discount :thumbsup:

I reckon it is worth paying alittle more to get a professional finish. using cans its lots of work and very difficult to get a flawless result a spray gun can achieve.

p.s. usually its cheaper if you take the part off and you install yourself after they spray.

its about $200 ish from my experience

[[ricer]]

cheapest quote i got when respraying my front bar because of a couple stone chips was $180-220

so i assume $300 maybe even up to $400 would be about right...

300 is about right, shop around. Don't go the DIY route, the DPI of spray cans are nothing like a proper spray gun and wont give the same finish. What's the point in spending all this money on a kit only to stinge out on the paint job?

$90L for primer/paint/clear and $65hr for the work in most places who can paint in QLD

so I would suspect around nearly $400

[akira]

$200 in melbourne though

[EK1.6LCIV]

that's pretty good, but that only covers cost of product, unless you have a discount in paint or labour that is

$0-$200 in Birsbane is a dodgy respray with dust in the paint...

How about just front and rear lips painted?

[Raztaz]

just DIY lips lol, if not shouldn be too much for lips, 100 or less-ish?

[EK1.6LCIV]

150 for lips done professionally when I did it

450 for front bar repair (tow hook gash in top of it (looks mint now)) and paint, painted side mouldings and mirrors :D
