wanting to have grill, bumpers,plastics on bumpers ,mirrors,tailgate handel and door handles panted black to match the truck like a Z71 tahoe but got a quote today that seemed extremly high. anyone else have an idea

 

Hey man that will be expensive as hell because you need new paintable parts or you will have to sand forever to get them smooth. You could paint the chrome but it will chip like my mirrors. Just for paint I would estimate 350-400 at least based on what I have paid. Paintable parts would be 550-600

 

A long time ago when I first got my truck, I asked the dealership about doing this. I do not remember the exact quote, but I want to say it was around 250-300. Not to bad.

 

I hit a deer a week and a half after i got my 2000. It took out the grill bumper and the passenger head light. The body shop payed my deductable and i had them put paintable parts on it and paint the front all white. The best part is my insurance will not go up because it is an act of god. just a thought.

 

i painted my all of my parts. My advice is to sand like a ****, use bulldog all purpose adhesive (specially made to stick to chrome and plastics) and light sand again, then spray base coat then clear coat. check out mine at the bottom of this page www.cardomain.com/id/stoopidfly4u
