Cost of Body Work and a New Paint Job??

[JollyGreen]

I was told years ago count on about $300 per panel. So that's somewhere in the neighborhood $2500-$2700 just for paint. Dents, depending on how large they are would put it well above $3k. Now, I'm not saying you can't get it done cheaper, cause you can, IF you know this person well and know they're not going to half ass it. I just got the passenger side done. Replaced the door, pulled out a crease on the extended cab and it cost $3k.

Wow that looks good!

I can't wait to get bent over when my ECSB gets painted later this year...I'm too scared to call around and ask.

3K done in your own garage? I'm thinking 6-7K at a shop for all that work then.

I've known my bodyman/painter for quite some time and he was in between jobs when I asked him to work on my truck. I wasn't in a hurry and he was able to do it while he was piece working for other shops. I had a 97 540i that I needed some paint work done and took it to a shop where my mechanic buddy worked, they had a great looking shop, spray booth but come to find out their repair worked sucked. I had to take it back to get the rocker below the driver side door fixed twice because the paint was bubbling where the repair was done. What I am trying to say is that you have to check references from friends, co workers and even family that have had good experinces with local shops. Plenty of shops around here at least do alot of insurance repair work that is not the same as getting a whole vehicle painted, you have to find the right shop to do the work at a resonable cost. I would think you could get your truck done for $3500, you could also do some of the prep work yourself to cut costs.

i know 1 person around here that does his on work in his shop and he is better than most bodyshops. i would paint my own truck but i have to buy materials to do mine. probably going to do a frame off paintjob on it.

there is a guy here local that ive had paint several trucks for me.. everyone else quoted 3 to 4k if not more.. but he did every single truck for 1500 cash and they were dang perfect.. the guy actually works from home, he use to own a body shop and had to close down so now he works from home and does a dang good job.. he painted a balck 4 door f250 for me and it was a mirror finish, no orange peel, no runs, no un even spots... it was slick.. like i said he did it ALL paint, wet sand, polish, and cleaning up all his mess for 1500... thats a great price. so i say if you look around you can find someone good needing money.. have them paint somthing small for you first to see what they can do then have them do your truck.

That last bit is a great piece of advice.
