Vebbers Member 77 Member For: 15y 10m 7d Gender: Male Location: Blackburn, VIC Posted 08/07/09 10:42 AM Share Posted 08/07/09 10:42 AM Hey,I bought a bulge that I wanted grafted/painted onto my bonnet but most panel beaters are not interested in even talking about grafting. A couple of bodykit shops said they might be able to do it but I was wondering if anyone here knows anyone who could do this for me for a reasonable price. So far ive been quoted $700 for grafting+painting.Cheers,Vebbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a place like PHAT customs (Correct name?) in Dandenong could help out? Other than that mate, I'm not really sure,Good luck anyways,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it gives it a bit of unique look. its on the phat custom kits website.Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some more research, came up with 'Funky Customs' in Campbellfield, the website looks pretty good! Plus theyve been in business for about 15 years, gotta say something! If anyone has used/heard of this place (or any other place) please share your experience with them!Thanx in advance,Vebbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
