Alright, i do not possess the skills to paint my own truck, and i don't really know anyone that i trust to do it.. :think: However, i do need to get my truck repainted.. I don't need to go inside the door jams or under the hood, just strictly the exterior. high gloss black with a nice clear coat... How much money do you think i need to save to get this done..

Also, if anyone knows this, this is off topic but, my AC only comes out by my feet (needs to be fixed) and i need 2 new complete door panels.. where to buy? cost?? Thanks for your help...

paint can vary, just wanting a respray wont be that bad, but keep in mind you get what you pay for.

id say around 1500-2k would get it done, but the best bet would be just to call and get quotes..


as for parts look for a salvage yard local. probably cheaper than having them shipped from egay

find a paint shop and ask for a quote. id say off the top of my head maybe 1000 or more for a good paint job. maybe less if its the same color it is now

Where are you guys getting your cars painted, Earl Shive? There's no way you're going to get a decent repaint for $1,000. The materials alone will run that. I used to be a painter, and I'm going to spray my own and I'm figuring about $1500.00. I'd shoot for $3,000 at the lowest. :imo

just for a respray with no edging in?

Rock chips need to be feathered, door dings removed, vehicle blocked, etc. It adds up in a hurry. Let me state to do it right it would be around $3,000. Even a scuff and shoot would be 1500.00 plus though, just because of cost of materials. Single stage would be a little less, but base clear runs through some money.

Yes, Your looking at 3k-4k depending how many small dings you got, all glass, mirrors, side windows, wheather stripping, headlights, bumpers, and more still need to come off... And Black is pretty expensive color...

 

[polarisfctyrcr13]

yea like stated above to get a like factory paint job you will be looking at 3500ish depending on how many chips, dings, deep scratches, and dents the body has.

gotcha. Shit. Gotta get the pockets a little deeper. Thanks guys.

Even though you might not be adept at painting, is there any reason you couldn't do the prepping yourself? This would save you a ton as this part is mostly labor. If you don't own one, rent a DA and a good air compressor. Start with 220 and then wet sand and block with 360. This is obviously over simplifying the procedure but you get the idea. This could knock over a grand off the price real easy.
