Hi, guys~
I am very new here,
but I've been reading some posts here, so thanks to you all.
and just got a deal with one guy from carsales. 2009 black mps3
and will get my car on Friday ))
Do you guys recommend to respry the black MPS to White one?
I just like the white one but can't afford a new one,
any comments??
cheers

will post photo once I got the car on Friday

Nope nope nope.

As good as white is, by the time you get a proper paint job done you will have been able to buy a new one anyway, cheap respray jobs are bad news.

[37371118]

oh no...that's a very bad news :'(
you mean like 5 grand or more???
my budget is like 2.5 grand only :'(

This is the one I am getting, but the guy told me it only costs me around 500 to repaint the airbrushed hood :/

Ah, that car...
I would say you're looking at 5-7k for a whole car, unfortunately... that's what I got quoted for my Gen 1...

Stick with the black it comes with mate.

Oh, and welcome

[duglet]

I agree stick with black as it will cost more than its worth for decent respray and engine bay will still be black.



Happy Motoring

thanks for all the tips guys
but at least I wanna respray or wrap that snowing airbrushed hood

[RedDjinn]

I remember seeing this car at MPSG... Enjoy im sure you will

[Yeldarb]

Oh $hit... Respray the bonnet and spend the change on a paint correction and paint protection. Then you will love black!

[Devil MPS]

Respray black? Blasphemy!!!!
Like others have said, a good Respray can cost a lot, considering it would need to be all sanded back there's a bit of labour involved and expect a good job to be upwards on $10K.
But other than that, welcome and hope you enjoy the car like we all enjoy ours.
Any mods planned for it?

Hi and welcome!

If you are looking to get a respray on the bonnet and you're in NSW, Ken Shafer in Campbelltown did a great job on a respray of my front bar. I would definitely go back there for anything else I need resprayed (heaven forbid).

[joker]

I`ve got some black paint and a brush you could have to fix up that Christmas Card scene on the bonnet.And a razor blade for the stickers.

[37371118]

thanks !!!!

[Jmac]

Not sure why original owner chose to spray a log cabin on the front... interesting.

[MattMPS3]

Going off the number plate, thats probably where he and the other 6 dwarves live

[37371118]

muhahahahahahaaa got my car today
will post photo tonight.
I got some different quotes to respray the bonnet ( from 350 to 900)
any suggestion?? will 350 one be alright? is there different quality of paint they using??
thanks guys

Congratulations on finally getting your MPS

Try and see if they will do a cashie respray price I reckon between $400 and $500 will get you a good job.
Oh and see if they can spray out that dumb looking smile while they are at it...lol.
