My dad talk to a O/O today that has an older Pete 379 daycab. Got it painted real nice cost him 4,100. I didnt think it would be that much. But i guess it is one of those things you get what you pay for.

I didn't think it would be that cheap! Really, I thought a paint job (done right) was around $8000.00. Guess I was asking the wrong people. hmmmm....... Now I'm thinking.

Is that for the colors you have now? Can you give a little detail of what the shop did when they painted it? ex.... prep, how many coats, how many clear coats. Anything you can think of really.

I'm really stunned at the prices I'm seeing in this thread. Maybe a paint job isn't as far off as I thought for my truck.

The inside of mine are black. Always have been. The did do the underside of the hood. The only part they didn't do was the firewall.

Do you know if they used a truck durable paint. I can't remember the name of the kind of paint off hand but I know Peterbilt (and probably others) use it. It's harder than most paints.

I hate brainfarts........ starts with an A or an E I think................
