Descent Truck Paint Shop

The price to just paint a hood are stupid. Was quoted $2500.
Try to find a place to do a wrap maybe?

 

2500 is cheap. Not cheap to us, but nowadays cheap.. 10-12 k to paint the entire truck. Only thing cheap these days is getting a van load moved.

 

I know of 3 painters. Good, better, best. I can PM you their number, all 3 are in San Antonio.

A friend did “good”. Orange to red. Can see a lot of orange in door jams and such. Couple paint spots peeled. Looks really bad. Was $5k and 2 weeks.

I painted mine “better”. He removed everything, painted, then reinstalled. There’s about 100 paint drips where some rivets are. No overspray and I would say he did really good. Here’s before and after pic. Took 2 months and $8k.

Another friend did “best”. Paid $24k and took 7 months. It looks flawless.

 

I’d like to add that $8k involved removing horns, filling in holes, painted tanks and visor, and installation of the roof wing, exhaust, all 4 door handles, etc.

 

Don't associate with fools.

 

Rush Truck Center in Lake City, FL

 

Now thats funny.
Nothing is good or inexpensive at rush.

 

You’d be surprised

Jason runs the body shop over there and did an incredible job on my truck. The mechanics side of the location I’ll never deal with again.

 

I’d bet it’s 15-20k for a cheap job now, mine was 12k 4 years ago or so? But I also went with the factor red which was expensive

white, black, blue and green are the cheapest colors
