Painting the truck...ideas please!!

please?????????????????

 

If this is what you want I'll offer a few words of advice:

Paint color changes can be very expensive because to do the job right all door jambs, door edges and any other visible area of original paint will need to be repainted (unless you do not care about having impulse red jambs).

I wouldn't be at all surprised for this kind of paint job to start somewhere in the $4k to $5K range at a decent body shop. Paint job rates can be all over the map- much depends on geographical location (local labor rates), materials used and whether you know someone in the business or can do the job/ some of the work yourself.

was waiting for that post... btw awesome looking truck

 

Yeah..I know all about the flat black effects on the popo...my Yami R6 is half flat black and I've gotten pulled over 3 times for speed but not one ticket cause none of them clocked me

plus I actually stopped!!
Haha

but I want something different...

I like those bronze rims on that green truck!!

And 4k!!!
I will get a much better deal though cause I have two friends who do paint and body work...one of them actually specializes in custom paint and I'm gonna help them out as much as I can cause I wanna learn how to do it properly for myself...but that is crazy that ppl pay that much for even a basic solid colour change!!!

 

itd look ok until you drove through wv, then it'd have custom bullet holes and scratches on it lmao

that looks like a truck who's owner does not know a lot about college football

 

Sounds like you want pearl.

 

lex we get cheaper stuff in Houston, i am sure it wouldnt be that expenisve in Housotn.... FYI the resale value of the truck will go down big time if you re-paint it just wanted to let you know....

 

beat me to it.

either that or go with a matte finished paint....doesnt have to be black.

 

matte black

 

What are you intentions? Is it a build? Recovery vehicle? You could always go yellow! Or better yet do a two-tone color paint job with a metallic gray and black. Food for thought. I don't know. I hate repainted cars personally. I can always see the flaws and that bothers me.
