[Guest]

Just a quick question. My friends a panel beater by trade and is going to be fixing my car up for my at home over the weekend.
Just wondering Where's the best place in sydney to get good quality 2pac paint from.my car is indigo blue p07 looking at repainting my drivers rear quarter, rear numberplate section. And front left of the front bar

not very sure about indigo blue, but for trigger mauve providing them with paint code had a slight different colour compare to the OEM paint. My front bar and TME Steve's front bar, bonnet and quarter panel are prove. its more greyish compare to the OEM. Also got some touch up paint. Same paint code but slight different in shade.

recently I went to these guys http://www.autowest.com.au/ and they said best way is to leave them a piece of panel and they will match it. Best piece, Your fuel flap/door.
Haven't got the paint though, no job=no money

The supercheap tint was a good match for my pryness black..

Otherwise I've heard good things of VG autopaints

Here's the thread with all the paint codes.

Indigo blue is (P) T07. There is some discussion about colour matching as well. Worth a read.

agree, but my front bumper had been resprayed with the original paint code too and its a different colour. I think only the touch up paint from Japan is the actual colour.
Hence I suggest getting them to match the paint

Anyway, the one in giraween should be VG autopaints, Like what Cam and Steve said.

I think the code is unchanged for trigger too, so you're doubly right, get it matched!

Yep, this is true. PFL/FL trigger, same code, different paint. I discovered this when I had panel work done by Simon at Paintwerks.

Anyone had any experiences with the indigo blue paint

Yeah, me. I took mine to the panel shop I suggested to you a while back. They did a very good job with just the paint code. However, my paint is close to what it was when new. Just needs a bit of a polish now. You're welcome to come have a look some time and I'll show you what he's done.

Speaking of paint, how much it would cost for a full respray for the legnum?

 

[Guest]

Are You talking about paint cost or to go to a shop and get it fully resprayed.

Paint cost around 500
To get a shop to fully paint your car around 3000
And custom Color inside and out anywhere above 5000

I recently purchased the paint to respray the rear bumper and the tailgate below the tail light bar of my Legnum and it came to a total of $150. I already had the primer and the plastiprime. Now all I need is a couple of warm dry days.
