cafe_racer Posted 30September, 2019 Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 This thread shows an amazing detail done to a G series which has it looking like new! https://rennlist.com/forums/911-forum/1052925-unlimitedlimeper-s-911-detox-paint-correction-clear-bra-and-nano-coating.html Anyone know of someone in Melbourne who would be able to do similar without returning it with rattles and has such a great eye for detail?

hugh Posted 30September, 2019 Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 How much $$$ are you prepared to spend and how long are you prepared to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_racer Posted 30September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 @hugh I’m debating a full glass out repaint of an ‘86. So can only assume this would be a similar proposition with the upside of retaining original paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 30September, 2019 Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 I’d imagine a glass out respray to be considerably more expensive than a high end detail. No real need to completely pull the car to bits though for a good detail unless you are going for a concourse outright contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 30September, 2019 Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 A mate with an SC was getting quotes of $25-35k just for a repaint, not bare metal, so I imagine what you're looking at doing would be a lot more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafe_racer Posted 30September, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 Either way, anyone in Melbourne who we know of who could do this kind of detail? It seems pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ended up getting a very OCD guy in Broken Hill (drove it from Adelaide) to bare metal and paint it for $15k including bodywork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty impressive. Dan from http://dansgaragedetailing.com/ is definitely worth having a chat to (let him know I referred you). I'm not sure on his current wait times however he will go as far as you wish and will give you a straight up idea on how long and how much you level of detailing will be. I had Dan & 5 other detailers from Melbourne & Sydney on my C3.0 for a day and the result was outstanding....can still see the benefit two years on.

Merv Posted 2October, 2019 Report Share Posted 2October, 2019 I have done fair bit of paint correction with my DAS6 polisher, but watching these guys work was impressive. Smaller and more specialist pads and more specialised compounds. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
