So back on the topic ...

No sense in re-painting a vehicle in a color that comes from the factory. Not only it costs a bundle but the vehicle goes down in value (a lot) if the paint doesn't match the VIN.

The only time to do it is if one's doing a custom color like a matte or a two tone ... it'll still lose value but the owner usually loves the color so much he/she doesn't care.

Like others said ... trade it or leave it alone.

DON'T...........

Also, there is a lot of black trucks....... so common..... Pain to maintain the finish.

Manipulate what you have and be different, do a Strom Trooper.

Agreed - the storm trooper look would like BA.

save your money!!!!!!! any "cheap" paint job is going to look bad. keep your denali stock paint.

i know from experience that a great paint job costs around 10-15 thousand or more!

If you want interior mods, you can replace all the bulbs with LEDs, audio/video, custom upholstery, aftermarket gauge cluster, etc. Lots you can for the price of changing the paint color. I totally agree with everyone else. If you really want black, I'd trade it in for a black model rather than repainting.
