Does anyone know of someone that would respray my gemini, it has motor out, engine bay stripped out, I am in the penrith area. I have contacted some smash repair places and none of them want much to do with my gemini |

They probably only want to do big jobs on New cars and make a sh*tload of money, instead of a bargain job on a Gemini. Still, they got a nerve. Bizness must be good if they can be that picky. F*ck em, do it yourself for $200. |

id say do it your self as well i sprayed my own car and it turned out pretty damn nice just needs to be buffed better. Just get some advice off of other people.
most crash repairers just do insurance jobs these days theres more money in that |

its bullshit man no places are interesting in geminis and if they take any sort of interest they wanna charge you big $$$$'s for any type of job.
i've only found about 2 places who actually take an interest and they have gotten most of my business so far for everything that i cant do myself |

I found someone, thanks guys, was thinking about doing it myself but due to time constraints etc I couldn't, besides I'd probably do a shit job anyways.. He isn't the cheapest but his work has been in show etc and he does a lot of gemini's bless him. |

how much would it cost for that paint job? when i finally find mine i wanna paint it blue, sort of the same colour as the second from left in the show geminis gallery. there will be a few differences of where the paint goes n shit but how much would it generally cost? |

I just picked up a compressor,spray gun and the rest of the stuff to spray our car and that cost me $850 I then need paint,thiners,bog,undercoat,sand paper,masking tape and finally paint probably not much change outa $400 and then there is the time.
So my cheap spray job has just become rather exy. |
