Adelaide: body/paint shop?

A few minor rust spots around the body need removal, the bottoms of both doors have some flaky spots that are starting to become potentially problematic and I have a minor ding in one fender (that I should be able to give a crack at myself with some mates over a beer or three).

And I figure I might be up for a respray now rather than later, door lock removal, debadging.

So - who do Adelaide boys recommend? What experiences? Price range? (I don't really want to know, but I need too :) )

My dad had some work done by Steve's Crash Repairs or steve's body shop. It looked good so I asked for a quote on whole spray it had some dents and rust requiring removal and it was 6-6.5grand.

My neighbour (panel beater) says that it is worth every cent if you get the engine bay, interior and all back to bare metal. I wasn't getting engine bay and interior done for that price though. My mechanic next door says he is quite slow so that could be the price difference.

Go on the gsr/evo club forum and ask. they are always getting kits sprayed for lancers and mirages. MC Doyle crash I think is what a few use. But that might be one I see on the way home from work?

Morphett Vale Crash Repairs has done some great work on a few cars I have seen. My mates Torana and some guys R33 4door skyline rego EXELR8 in Hot house green.

Ask Neon crossing who sprayed his car or his brothers galant. Very nice work :drool:
