    These look great. Are they $470 a set or $370? You say 125 deposit then the 245 to ship which is only $370.

    You are a collision painter so you have every body color of tacoma correct? If so, would you be willing to paint something other than tails for me?

    paint won't last at all on them, the second you bang them around the paints gunna fly off no matter what you do. powder coat is your solution for that.

    Damn. Thanks anyway. What about a skid plate? What would you charge to paint that? I know it will get beat on but I can buy touch up paint for cheap enough

    same thing. maybe this is just me, but when i have people bring stuff to into work and ask to have it painted, if i am not confident it will hold up, i will pass on the job because no matter how many times i tell them its not going to last, the second it fails guess whose name is on that job, i still sprayed it and it makes me as a painter/body shop look bad.

    if your willing to gob it up with touch up paint every time it chips or scratches, why don't you just get some paint at a autoparts store thats in a rattle can thats your color and spray it that way?
