Cost to paint a truck
Did anyone ever get their truck painted before. If you did how much did you pay. I'm not talking about a crazy ass trick my truck paint job. Just a normal change the color of the truck paint job. Thanks.

First time I had the truck painted, it was around $1800. Second time (which was done much better) was around $3500.

Thanks Rev.
a daycab will be a little cheaper. I would think  . So around 2,000 give or take for a good paint job.

changing the color always costs more if they do it right, I would figure 35 to 4500

When I had my own trucks I used to paint them myself.
Usually about $500.00 worth of materials and a couple weeks of my own labor. .

Actually I did it the right way with proper preparation, a coat of primer, lightly sand the primer, blow off all the sanding dust, tack rag the entire surface, then shoot 1 tack coat and 1 full wet coat of #40496 Mack green PPG acrylic enamel & hardener, applied with a Binks model 7 spray gun in the shop I had at the time.
