Hey Guys,
I'm looking for someone who can spray my ute (photos below) - basically it's an 06 with OK paint but a lot of scratches and a few dints (we've just come back from a simpson crossing & the Hay river track) . I want it redone in the original white (so no need for inside doors under bonnet ect).
I want a smooth (I know preparation), thick shiny 2 pac finish - I'm not looking for a show car finish but I do want a nice job.
I'm not interested in paying a panel shop to have their 1st year apprentice do a 4.45 friday afternoon mask job and then get a crap finished, poor color matched result - all for a insanely expensive price.
I can strip everything out - I can do all of the necessary prep work (the D22 paint is shit and all you need to do is look at it and it turns to bare metal) - or work with the spray guy (because I know they hate spraying something if they don't know what's underneath) - ideally I would do this over a couple of days and I'm happy to travel to the right person. I'm not a gipp or know-it-all and I have had a bit of experience with painting - but would prefer to get someone who knows how to put on the paint so it's not too wet or dry or orange peely etc. ideally I don't want runs in the paint (I know they can be rubbed out but...)
The plan is to pull off the tub (to get to that back of the cab) and pull out most of the rubbers.
I've also got some wider fiberglass flares that I've made to go on it.
I'm happy to pay cash or work out a contra - if you look at the photos of my car I've built all the barwork (sliders, rear tube bar, wheel carrier, bash plate) if that interests anyone.
I can pay for all materials - so basically I'm looking for someone who knows what they are doing and has a few days spare and wants to earn a bit of cash or maybe get something built for their ute. I've got a shed & compressor that could be used but would probably prefer it to go into an oven (I know not critical)
No rush on this but ideally I'd like it done in the next few months. I'm in Brissy but will travel!
cheers
