Default How much to get my truck painted?

Just making a list of things to do to my truck over the next few years and paint is one of them, my truck is 2000 and its starting to show in a few spots so some slight body work will need to be done, nothing major. So Ill either get it painted all pewter like it is now, or arrival blue, or victory red, how much $$ am I lookin at for a really good paint job?

I checked with a local shop that did some work on my f-body a year or two ago and was quoted ~2k for a complete repaint using any readily available color. That was a slight buddy deal but still not a HUGE discount. Just don't skimp on the paint job, if you want it done, get it done right and you will never regret it.

actually it'd be kind of cool to see a 2000 truck in Arrival Blue. they didnt make it til 03 i think. i personally say go for it and paint it. but hey, i'm kind of biased to that color.
