How much for a custom paint job?
If I were to buy this truck
http://www.coopskw.com/cm/images/tru...s/10P145-2.jpg How much would I expect it to cost to paint it like this? http://www.truckpaper.com/images/Tru...e/83352550.jpg |
I don't know for sure but I'd like to hazard a guess of 6k give or take 2k.
I love the old school look, nice choice. Care to give us all the details Mike? or is it too early. Don't forget to put 6" stacks on it after painting. just a thought. |
Since we're on the subject of paint jobs (hope you don't mind Mike) I have a question also.
Can you get the Imron paint in any color? I like the new maroon color that Dodge has and would like to eventually paint my truck that color. |
Just give them the paint code and decide if you want BC/CC or elite.

A well known east coast shop gave me a price of $18,000, the shop by Frystown Pa, gave me a price of $10,000, both were for one color and the entire chassis including sandblasting. Basically I have the same truck.
Painting is VERY labor intensive, and thanks to the EPA paint is VERY expensive, if you can get a paint job under $4000, expect it to come off when you wash it. Paint jobs on cars run into 6 to 7K, good jobs, not the Earl Scheib jobs of the 60's A gallon of red paint with the activators is way over $100.00 these days BCC/ CC = base coat clear coat, or just base coat, no clear |

If you're going to do the frame paint it with por 15, it will *never* rust or peel off as long as it is applied correctly.

Damn, 10 to 18k. I was way off.

But as far as R&I the fifth wheel and lines , normally no. But all lights mirrors handles locks ect. MUST come off or it will peel Remember BIG TRUCKS = BIG BUCKS |
