SA: Quick Paint Job
SebastienPeek - August 15th, 2011 at 05:59 PM

I am after a cheap paint job, basically just the two rear guards need to be done.

Send me a price, I want them gloss white. If I do all the sanding back, how much would I be looking at?

:)

Don't do the sanding back yourself as you will need to prime them to stop them rusting.
Whoever you use to paint them might not use a paint that is compatible with the primer you use.
Best to ask the painter first.

Have sent them in, the bloke that I got is doing them for like, maximum of $200.
Sanding back, priming and acrylic white.

Not going to spend heaps yet, because I want to get her completely resprayed next year.
The aim is to just get these guards on.

This is why you should only browse AVD through the "Topic Activity" feature. The board moves slow enough that you won't miss anything by doing it that way.

Or maybe check the date of the last post...:lol:
