[EVO600]

Hi Guys,

Need some help here to repray my car, does anyone know someone can give a good paintjob in melbourne? sorry for the noob question, guess its been covered thousand time.. hahah.. anyway.. i plan to respay the exterior of my eg9.

how much roughly it would cost? thanks heaps

use search thread if you know its been covered thousands of times,

and to answer;
you get what you pay for really, 2k for an alright job but u it can go all the way up to around 5k for a awsome job (pulling teh back rubbers, door sills , etc)

pics of your eh9, especially the interior plz

so its not a eh9?, good luck 1k backyard special(not the brand)

its a eg9, actually i want to fix the paint chips.. so was hoping to get it done ard 1k..
btw.. do u know wat sort of suspension is good for this car? should i put a standard honda suspension or a tein suspension.

[kcokla]

tein suspension will be much better than standard honda suspension,

if you just want to fix the paint chips, assuming there just chips, definaetly < 1k but a whole car respray is easily 2k+ and 2k is frighteningly cheap.

lots of suspension good for the car, tein, D2, N1 , buddy club, lots of jdm crap out there that everyone wants.

and from my understanding which perhaps someone could confirm , the eh9 is pretty much the eg6 in sedan, not just any eg sedan (which is eh) and, if what i have said is correct so far the eh9 is very rare in aus. long arm rest differnt seats b16a etc and minor differences but rare.
are u sure u have a eh 9? if so, id love some pics

[EVO600]

haha.. ya probably i'll go for the tein.. but still need to do some research on them coz hav not much knowledge in these stuff.. =(

i think my car is just the normal sedan but with a b16a in it.. coz i dont hav a long arm rest.. did manage to saw one eh9 in firesport on sale.

is that seekers eg9?

[Boban]

looks like it lukey

btw ppls: EH9 is AUDM sedans in VTi and Si trim, EG8 is the AUDM sedan in Gl, GLi and VEi trims and EG9 is JDM spec with B16A, diff interior (as above in pic), fog lights, different spoiler and a few other differences etc.....

easiest way to tell is by looking at the vin number on the firewall

Dont want to burst your bubble, if you arent respraying it the same factory colour then dont do it at all unless its a full respray job. My opinion is it looks cheap and dodgy when people open bonnets or look under carpets to find a completey different colour. It is a much bigger task but much more rewarding. Thats my thought.

[EVO600]

nah.. not planning to chnage the colour, as u said.. it will look dodgy..

[MWAKU]

bump. i wanna just get my side door painted, cause of chips and deep scratches. wondering if anyone knows somewhere who can do it cheap and color match it perfectly with the rest of the car.

i had my front lip resprayed teh same color, looks great n all, but from far, you can kinda see that it doesn't fully match my color. my car is black so color matching is easier?

[EVO600]

votek suggested dt panels ; springvale. i havnt go ask for a quote yet. btw this place is in melb.

i think black is a cool colour, but white is cooler..
