Compare prices

OK, just to compare prices from Australia and Suriname;

How much their in Australia to spray paint a hood.

does it make a difference if you paint it the same color or another color?

Price of paint at trade price and a box of ***** for me.

I don't imagine it would cost that much to spray a hood/bonnet, probably about $400...but was told by a few smash repairers that if you want it to blend in nicely it usually means painting the two front fenders as well as the front bumper bar. If you will be spraying with a non metallic paint then you might be able to get away with only the bonnet, with metallic's it maybe a little bit more tricky I believe.

$400 is a lot of money to spray just the bonnet.

Back here in Suriname they ask $180 :-)

Thats hella cheap man, where i work, $300-$400 depending if u wanted blending, best option is just to go there and get it done, the metallic paint is harder to match, but will require a further 2 panels to blend the metallic in, if its a good enough job, wont leave any marks :)

i got my bonnet resprayed a while ago by a toyota approved repairer, cost $400 with metallic paint without blending. ive spent hours looking at it and cant spot the difference

it all depends on the workshop you go to and how good they actually are

OKAY..

some other comparisons:

TRD badge (Suriname $5)

Mesh grill (Suriname $15 for an 100 x 40 cm)

Rims 17" (Suriname average $500)

Tires 17" (Suriname average $70 a tire)

hehe.. no mate

I'm just comparing, because looking at prices you guys pay for some of the stuff that are also available in Suriname, i find it weird that their is such a big difference.

What's the price of a stock second hand corolla sportivo there (lets say 60000km)?

Back here you can buy one for $7800
