Paint Job Question ?

[Carolinaboy]

How much should a paint job cost on my F-150??

I have about three dents that need to be repaired at the same time as the paint job...FYI

The biggest being the size of a volleyball at the base of the driverside door
others very small

Just Curious

I haven't even looked so what do y'all think I want to just do my factory color again Dark Shadow Gray

Thanks

First, I'd stick with the original color. Color changes never look right unless you are willing to have the entire vehicle taken apart and done right. A good quality respray would start around $2000 here. A show quality finish would be at least double that. Bodywork is impossible to estimate without seeing it.

yeah thats would i figured i am not gonna do it for a while....Gotta save up

Most times on a truck that new, just repairing and repainting the damage plus a good cut and buff will make it look new again without breaking the bank.

Might look into that first.

a local PDR shop may be able to get out the small dents at a reasonable cost. Depending on where they are, you could do them yourself.

one is pretty bad on the door(paint chipping on the rocker panel) and the other ones are small but they are right by the bed rails and one by the back glass. The hood has hail damage but a new hood will fix that

My PJ cost about $6000, but that was also including materials. when i was looking at color swatches at the BS, they told me that black or white is the hardest to keep clean, and that red is the most expensive. that might've changed. but that's just from one shop. it may differ depending on where you go
