EM1 interior painting quote

[dj_scobie]

Just had a quote done for my EM1 interior, for all the panels painted black and armrests re-trimed red fabric= $1500, does this sound reasonable or should i look elsewhere?

why dont u just diy it? i think couple guys here have diy'd it save u heaps of money lol.

[teh_mechanic]

diy that $hit up.
i did mine in my eg.just make sure your cleaning and preparation takes 3 times longer than the painting and wrapping and then it will actually be durable.

your paying for the labour in that 1500. as it takes a couple of days to do (pull car apart,clean,prep,paint,wrap,set,clear coats and fabric protector,put car together).its a couple hundred dollars in materials and all the rest is labour.its an ok price i suppose,considering how long it will take

what is diy? i am also looking for alternative ways to paint and patch up my interior too

[rayb3na_]

do it yourself!

[dj_scobie]

Cheers for the advice. Yeah i think i'll have a go at it, rather spend the other money on wheels or somethin. Think i'll be happier with it too if i manage to do it myself, i'll post pics when its done

Do you have to undercoat the interior or just put on multiple coats or the colour?

[misteR_bilzz]

undercoat to help the paint stick. use wax and grease remover, then use some plastic primer... then! paint a few coats

DIY!! if u feel confident..i painted my eg interior and re-trimmed the doors in leather..looks sweet..but it takes alot of hours and loads of patience...if only i had more time i could do it for ya and charge about half

good luck
