    I found a Leer fiberglass shell to fit a 2003 Tacoma DC at a decent price. However, it's red and I need it Black Sand Pearl. What would be the approximate cost to paint it? If location matters, I'm in Georgia about 1 hour west of Atlanta.

    Ive been quoted at Maaco about 300. A few other body shops around 500. Highest was 860 and that was taking the windows out. I am in TN.

    My topper cost 700, (not including Gas 6 hr drive) Installed a roof rack 400 (not including tax) and paint qutoed around 500. I could of bought a new topper paint matched for 1400 installed. I should of bought new. So I sold my ARE Z and now getting a V series paint matched.

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    As stated above you should be able to get it done for $300-$500. Look for a paint guy that does some work on the side. And do not leave it on your truck when they paint it! Drop it off and pick it up off the truck.

    Unless you're just set to have it all slick looking like your truck, there are other options.

    www.monstaliner.com is one. You could make it contrast you paint by getting a close match to your interior. Or you could just do it in black and not worry about the metallic component.

    You have a metal bed, right? So you could freshen up the inside of your bed at the same time.

    I was also thinking of putting some type of red on the truck to bring them together. Maybe replace my stock black/grey TRD with this:

    Or this since the truck is black and the black letters might not show:
