Looking for body car painting

[ken yeang]

playing old skool cars aren't exactly cheap, or those faint-hearts. For instance, classic celica prices are skyrocketting to 40 to 70k these days. Depending on the restored condition, or how ori the car is.

I just saw a TA22 car sold, with other goodies at mudah, asking for 30k if not mistaken. So, if everything fixed up, expect it to be hovering at 50k mark.

Yes bro the thug is if u get s car sandblasted n weld/replace d effected panels then it wld definitely last like new..but it comes at a high price x doubt bout it

High price is worth it if the car will be kept by the owner for long. If kept for a short time and reselling it again, then that is worth it for the new owner.

Need to be cautious as well when buying restored cars. You won't know what parts and stuffs that the current owner spent on the car. It will be a nightmare if the owner decided to cut cost on restoring the bodywork and problems from inside start to arise 1 or 2 years later after buying the car.

Bro..I run a paint shop in Sri kembangan n honestly there is no such thing as cheap but good quality..reason being in paint different choice of materials used means different costs..low/in house brand material means low costs whereas if u choose branded n already renowned/proven means a more higher costs..eg. u can get a 1k job but after some time d paint faulty OR a 2k job n d paint lasts at least 5 yrs...apart from that it depends on d condition of ur car..more work (rust job,body knocking etc) means more costs..n so on n so forth..

Thank you very much for the response bro. I definitely understand that but as a consumer, we are looking for good quality with reasonable price. That is the aim.
FYI, my car is Chevrolet Optra 1.6A gold color. Its already 11 years old and it had so many sentimental value (memories) with family and I wish to keep it good. I would like to re-paint the car and using all the coating system. I was looking for little bit dark brown to replace the gold color.
May you provide your estimate quote for outside painting and outsite/inside painting. You may email me directly to [email protected].

Very much Thanks bro

Looking at Overhaulin, in US many parts can be bought outright and fitted plug and play for many types of old cars, but not here....:rolleyes:

I recall seeing this laser rust/paint remover tool that zaps paint and rust off very quickly. I wonder if that laser will reach KL anytime soon. Then sandblasting would be a thing of the past and rust removal would be super fast.

YEah...start small and steady, as they say.
Use sandblasting machine first, then if got money. ada rezeki and strong demand from customer....then might consider buying the laser blaster.

Off topic a bit. Like my friend tyre shop, just buy balancing machine and tyre mounting machine which are really needed in tyre business already cost a bomb. China made cannot last so need to buy more expensive machine and then balancing and mounting cannot charge customer because it comes free with tyre purchase. If buy alignment machine some more, really the installments will be hard to cover.....lol
