Lookin for a place to repaint a 379 pete

Many moons ago i watched a guy paint his truck with a roller at Zimmers T/S in El Monte,Ca. I'm pretty confident i can duplicate his technique. Forget about that 5 grand. Spring special $3995.00.

 

I can do it myself for well under a grand, including a homemade paint booth. I just want it to look good. And while they say 90% of a good paint job is prep, there is a lot of mixing and spraying skill involved too. I do believe with me stripping the truck first it would get it into the $3xxx range. But then it would be hard for me to put old trim, windshields, stacks, door handles, etc. on when it's the perfect time to put shiny new one$$$ on.

 

Paint and materials costs are thru the roof and beyond the moon. Four grand IS a special. I'd jump on it with both feet. Personally the roller job makes more sense. Each to his own.

 

Rush peterbilt has a good shop.

And if you get to Portage, IN the Peterbilt dealer there has an AMAZINGbody shop. They have a guy that does custom jobs and another that does air-brushing if you were into that.

 

3 cases of Krylon flat black will do the trick, and only run him about $150.... I've done it before

 

There's a place in columbus ohio called skinners they have a paint and body shop( they do all types of trl and trk repair.) They painted a t-600 for me many years ago. Came out nice.
