Ok peeples, it's time to dig down deep and do a mate a favour, got the quote for the repairs to my baby and they came up with $300, not bad I reckon, then I ask them how much to spray her all one color, I want her black as black can be or green, all one colour, no metallic paint, now I know it's not cheap and i'm not a cheap bastard but c'mon $2000 to respray just the top, sides and tail, shit I had my car done for that, if anyone has any talent (no offence to first timers) i'm willing to pay but screw that amount, so anyone got a weekend or a few days free to come up, i'll supply the sandpaper, paint, primer, compressor and hose, all you have to bring is a gun as I don't have one, you get bed, all the food you can stuff down your throat and beer, you can either post here or pm me for a time frame.

yes i can spray paint..but NO, not very good....also i WOULDNT be offering bulk beer UNTIL the job is done!!

now..seriously..i got a mate down here who did his zx2r..now hes decent..in fact i think he did a great job on his zx2r..but i dunno if plas was that impressed...
neway..he was cheap..he did it himself..
ie; he'd do it for me for nuthin..
ie; he'd do it for u for nuthin if i asked him to


lemme kno..is it rideable?? if so..might be worth a trip down...

Yep she's rideable, but a trip to Addy again, ,that's what caused this in the first place, seriously tho, i'm getting price on the paint next week, shouldn't need more than 2 litres of paint and 4 of thinners and all the other stuff, if needs be I can get prices in Addy for the stuff. I reckon she'll look funny in black with green wheels tho .
I'll pm ya when I get the prices and thanks big time Neka.

Forgot the most important part of all of this, ya gotta have at least 2 slabs of beer first, that way it comes out perfect first time every time didn't ya know, my house looks like a monkey puked on it, all yellow and green, looked good when I did it, but I was pissed at the time .
Les

OK I am being very serious here....
I done an Automotive course and got an "A" for spray painting a picture on a Panel Van.

My only problem is that it was when I was 16

Les baby I think when I am at your place we can do this together. It's not hard you know and I do remember a few things.. If we fark up you can rub it back again while I drink the beer for trying

I did the same thing when I put down 100 square metres of tiles. Had never put down a tile in my life. Got a quote to lay them and the quote was anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000. The tiles were $3,500.

I figured that if I stuffed up, I could afford to rip them all up and start again and I'd still be in front.

i've got a putty gun and a spray gun.

i use to spray but haven't done it for a few years.

i'll charge u 1999.95
