Hi All,

I'm new to Prado Point have recently bought a 2010 150 series. Loving the car having upgraded from a 2008 Hilux.
The car has come with a premium ARB bar but has a couple of smallish rust marks where it has had stone chips etc.
My question is what would be the cost of giving the bar a re spray before i go adding my wish list to it.
I look forward to hearing from you soon
Cheers
Glen

I would think $250ish give or take depending on who does it, plus any costs involved in removing and replacing it if that is deemed necessary.

Here in Melbourne, ARB charge $250 for colour coding. My mate got his fitted by a 4WD store and they use a local spray painter who charges $450. They did a shit job. TJM charged me $450 to colour code my bar, very happy with the paint job.

Or look at the price of getting it powder coated. In my experience its stronger, less likely to scratch.
Would cost a little more but worth it in the long run

It does depend on what colour you want.

The stone chips can be rubbed out and places like super cheap auto sell small spray cans of toyoto colour coded paint DIY for a few dollars

Hi Glenn, I got a colour coded ARB delux bar fitted to my MY2014 prado last March. A month after purchase small rust blemishes were noticed around welds and bolt holing! I sent an email to ARB - not a reply- I suggested they bolting be o/o ss. Not a big cost but some high tensile bolts with nylex nuts would be a good upgrade.
