Current price to paint a truck

You didn't offer! lol

 

Still looks good, you need one?

 

Joplin Peterbilt painted mine, they done a freaking crazy good job. That said it took a month longer and 8k more than quoted. I did have a lot of other work done it needed but when I figured out it was just sitting why not. Instead of it being down longer. From what I got out of the conversstion I had with the body shop manager several times, the top of the hood and roof needs to be done in a color that looks good in single stage paint. No metallics or pearls. He said the clear almost always will peel. Which is why I went back black on top but left the burgandy fenders with gold metallic and a pearl overlay. I still have to put the stacks and rear fenders on plus the deck plate so I hate to post pics that's the jest of an 18k paint job. With all the suspension work I had done the and new michelin steers 28k was the total figure. A lot to spend on an old 91 for sure. Thing is the frame and body are incredibly sound. Its got right at a million miles with me being the second owner. We done an out of frame on the B model first of December so barring any unforseen complications I should be good.

 

ohhhh aaaahhhhh shiny me like shiny........lol cant wait to see full pictures of it!!

 

Yea...... a paint job not a single screw though. You should be able to sell that thing to one of those hay haulers that pull doubles over your way?

 

Probably would need to stretch the frame and add a coffin box, at least.

 

Buddy of mine got his 379 did at Elizabeth Truck Center in jersey. $16k for cab sleeper hood n grill. All glossy black. Looks good.... I think he should have went with a different color personally. All black peterbilt just seems too common to me.

 

I have a black car, and it is a pia to keep clean.

 

You get what you pay for. Most people want a paint job until they realize how much its going to cost unless corners are cut and it gets half ### painted. That'll save money but it'll also look like corners were cut. Lots of labor involved in doing one right and removing parts and pieces that ought to be not to mention sanding/prep. I know somebody who spent $16,000 on getting a truck painted several years ago and that one looked as clean as it did the day it left the factory.
