Quote: dont laugh but there is a local Maaco paint shop that will paint the car for $700.00 and it comes out real nice. i gave the painter an extra $150.00 on the side to give me extra coats, i took off all the trim and bumpers, no real body work, came out fantastic, 8 years later it looks very good but now needs another repaint due to rocks, nicks, etc.
Maaco is a great deal as long as you get a good spray tech....pay a visit and see what kind of work there putting out....that's where the new truck build will get painted, should be less than a grand even for base coat / clear coat...

i did exactly that, went to a few maacos and watched the painters finishing product, i had to drive 35 miles farther but it was well worth it.
