MODS DELETE

Managed to find a brand new factory OEM tailgate to replace the dented one on my 04, unfortunately my 04 is gold and the new tailgate is silver.

Any recommendations as to where I should get it painted in the denver area? I'd like to stay cheap but I also don't want it butchered. I was quoted 350-400 at a place here in breckenridge but that seems a bit high to me (maybe it's not?).

Thanks guys

 

Take it to a trade school that has auto body classes.

 

That's an interesting idea. Never thought about that. Good luck with painting it OP.

 

Chris at american auto in thornton did a hood and fenders for me.

might I ask how much that cost you?

 

1st gen hood and fenders that were aftermarket and didn't need body work was $250 to prep and paint them.

 

right on thanks! probably give them a call!

anything horribly wrong with the old tailgate?

 

it's just bent outward in the middle from a snowmobile. It still works completely fine but because of the bend, my topper door won't sit flat/seal correctly. I can still get it to lock and everything but you need two people to hold it down with the kind of topper I have.

If you're asking because you may want to purchase it. I can let you know once my new one is painted and put on.

 

I would get the correct color and do it myself, painting is fun! hehe. good luck sir.
