Let's see some paint jobs...would like to change the color of my truck

My silver Tacoma is just too common...I'd like to see what others have done. Please share your colors.

 

If I was gonna change the color of my truck, I would seriously consider wrapping it with Kryptec camo vinyl.It’s Spruce Mica right now.

 

I like my indigo ink, but I do want to do shadow grass along the bottom and the flairs.

 

If I did a color change I think that new penny bronze kinda neat. Maybe burnt orange, something different.

 

Mine is wrapped mostly now so I would probably do another wrap.

 

Looks nice green, I like camo too...I'd be afraid of scratching off the wrap, I've never tried it. Not sure how well it'd hold up here in the hot sun.

 

Any complaints with wrapping?

 

"shadow grass" is that a color or design like grass?

 

Like this but a better truck.

 

That's cool!

 

Where are you located? I'm in Phoenix and I see wrapped vehicles all the time.

 

My wrap is around 5 years old now. No fading, it is a marine grade so it is tough. The only problem and not a big problem is recently an edge or two had just a little curl starting on an edge. So my sharp blade did a quick 1/16" trim of maybe 6-8" and fixed that. It is amazing what you can do with wraps. Had a friend who's was wrapped with pictures of him and another fellow catching wild hogs by hand.

 

What is the typical cost of a paint job? Thanks

 

That's a broad question. $400 for a hack job at Maaco. Many thousands to properly prep and do the jambs, inner fenders, etc.

 

If I decide to paint mine one day I will probably just add pearl to it. I can imagine it will cost me around $2k

 

I want to paint mine, but only because of the rusting problem. I actually plasti-dipped the roof because when I moved to Montana the rust started getting out of control... I'll try to find a couple pics of that project.

 

That's not bad on the length of time before curling...would love to do a custom image, maybe some cactus like prickly pear pads (I live in the SW desert)

 

That is about the going price around here...I watched a bunch of wrap videos, but I think my paint is too jacked up already to do that. I'm leaning towards a flat green (yes, kinda like ugly things

 

Did you have a sprayer? Plasti-dip sort of looks like fun...f*ck up and just peel it off
