Powder paint has come a long way in the last few years. You should be ableto match your paint color pretty well.

Seems about right. I haven't quoted it around here but that seems not out of line. You wont have to worry about them corroding anymore either.

Yeah, I know. I lived on the coast for 100 years. Nothing lasts. Salt in everything.

Hey, sorry about your accident! That's a GREAT looking truck...what color is it? I do not like the flat black wheels and would recommend something to complement the color of your truck since you will be powdercoating them.

Good luck and post some pictures when you get them finished!
