thaibeachlovers Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Anyone had a large car or pickup painted? Interested in the cost. I haven't seen any car paint shops around Chiang Mai. Are there any? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley'sLife Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Vigo around 26,000THB to 30,000THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddums Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah...about 30k. That expat car seller guy quoted me 40k a couple years ago, quality job according to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the replies. Would have to take a real hit on the resale to make it worthwhile at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culicine Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the replies. Would have to take a real hit on the resale to make it worthwhile at that price. Not too sure what you mean. If you paint it a stock colour and make it look nice you can sell it easily, but I doubt you would get your money back. Paint it some unusual colour and the value can decrease - punters might suspect it's been in an accident. Changing the colour is also more expensive when done properly - have to paint inside the doors, under hood, etc. Either way, 40K is dirt cheap for a quality paint job. I shudder to think what that would cost in the West now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner300 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 40+k= Farang price Yep here I pay 18.000 and he take it apart to to paint the parts seperatly. Paint is extremly cheap there are no taxes on it so is the labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 How about this. www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html very hard work though. Thanks for that link. Wish I'd known that when I was driving a 20 year old Hunter with more bog than steel in the body. I just used a spray can, but it didn't look very nice. Think I'm a bit too decrepit to attempt that now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I'm trying out this method on my ancient car...as I said before is bloody hard work and my results are no where near as good as rickwrench's...but if it keeps the rust at bay for a while then I'm happy ( well kind of ) Some before photos The paint is coming off in sheets and running like they sprayed it with some sort of water based paint.

oxymoron Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yes on Highway 1317 to Maeon. About 10Km from Central Plaza on right just before turn off to Sankampheang. Prices do not know. Did a Corolla for our family for around 12000 Baht about 5 years ago pretty good job as I am picky and in Australia do my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAM_0150 (Medium).JPG SAM_0157 (Medium).JPG I don t believe in this thing at al 6 layers means at least 6 times sandpapering and a lot of polishing afterwoods. Count the real cost I would say instead of 50 dollars like 10 days not working a pile of sandpaper and a lot of polisher and a polishing machine to and on top of it if its your only car you need to hire another car because yours the paint isn t dry and the parts are mounted out.

There was a time a good car had more than 6 layers. It always was the labour with painting a care even sprayed. THe only thing with this is he got away with a roller.

roadrunner300 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Those days from up to 10 layers like Rolls Royce did they used a different paintsystem to. A system where the glow gets deeper and more shiny after each layer. The paint here in Thailand used now is the paint the western world has ruled out almost Just mix it with thinner and start spraying it will dry very fast. With a 3 way system you need a groundlayer then the collor then the finishing layer for the protection and the glow. Al very economical and simple. While the waterbased ones we use now in the west makes it al far more expensive You need a special created cabine t to get it dry with a high temperture. Then it still takes 24 hours. Simply because water doesn t evaporate as easy as thinner does. Edited February 24, 2013 by roadrunner300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
