Paint Job Cost??

I got my freight shaker repainted back in 2011. If you decide to paint it. Paint it the same color. One it'll be cheaper two you'll save money by not having to paint inside the door jambs compartment doors etc.

Mine was like a pearl blue and I got it painted for 800$ it was perfect.
This is a old picture

 

$800 seems really cheap! Good deal, driver

 

It costs like $1500-3000 for a regular car

 

I'm thinking 8K. I don't think you could buy materials for anthing near $800.

 

$2500 . painted century original DuPont white color last mount in los angeles area.

 

I was quoted $2500 for my '01 770. White on the bottom desert sage above. That's here in Phoenix.

 

Great prices, I hope the paint jobs hold up. I had just the driver door done on my Volvo a few years back ant it alone was $800, then they did the hood after someone hit me this January, $2,000 just to strip and paint the hood, off the truck. My last full cab paint job was on a 2000 International 4900 in 2004, it cost almost $3,000 through a good friend of mine. These are east coast prices, specifically northeast Pennsylvania and New York, so it may be cheaper out west. I had a 94 Dodge Shadow painted in New Mexico for about $1,000, best paint job I had ever seen, really shined with absolutely no orange peel or defects.

I was quoted $7,500 to sand blast and paint one of my car trailers this year, thought that was pretty high so I have not had it done yet, maybe I need to price the job out west?

 

I know a guy that spent $12,000 at a dealer and they did it right. Fix, repaired, crooked panels, broken brackets. It looked like a brand new truck. My theory on a paint job is do it right or don't do it at all. You'll get what you pay for. If I was planning on keeping a truck for 10 or 15 years and wanted a good paint job I would not hesitate to spend the money to have it done right.

 

there are TIME TESTED Hispanic owned good body shops in los angeles area. they will do the job perfect, better than dealer's shops. all they want is get paid cash.
