Mando,
I have to say how delighted I was with the job that I got for $6000.00 at the Gold Coast. These guys have the state of the art complex with 10 separate areas for prep and spraying. They get most of the local contracts for glassfibre work. They did a first class job for me and for quite a few others, through Harrisons. No sign of narcotics anywhere! The preparation was excellent and the paint finish seems superb. I did the engine bay and boot compartment and all the underbody Stoneguard myself.
Could be worth a trip to Qld to get a better priced job?
