im getting mine redone soon. getting the clear taken off and then getting a new white base coat. then on the hood im getting a silver ghost stripe with white pear ghost flames in the stripe. This includes all plastics painted to. this is a custom shop not just a paint shop so its gonna be a little cheaper. im getting the whole job done with new base, graphics, and clear for $2k

we redid my whole truck at our shop and my dad said it would have been around 1600 bucks if somebody went in there and wanted done what i had done which was an all over like your wanting.

if you pay more than 2k your getting ripped. my truck was like glass and is everything that comes out of our shop

i was quoted 2K for a custom white w/ blue pearl and including body work, shaved tail lights, shaved 3rd brake light, installed led tail light, installed led 3rd brakelight, shaved gas door, painted mirrors, painted esky handles, painted grill, painted tonneau cover, painted door jams, molding body kit to truck. this guy has done it for years but was recentle busted for not having an adiquit paint booth, so now he does it on the side at a friends custom shop. he does good work, he has done all the lil ricers and euro cars in the area. and im not talking about the y looking car on like the vw commercials, im talking bad *** show quality paint jobs, with the exception of the occasional dumb *** ricer who wants a dark green base with chartreuse lightning bolts with a light blue outline
