How you gonna do it?

They were going to charge me 8k, but after leaving and i spoke directly to the owner, he went down to 5k

Back in 94 I did a complete color change paint job on my 88 SCWB Serra and cost me $4k. 26 years later and you are only paying 5k, that's a hell of a deal.

Got rid of the liquid wrap and In the shop getting all the dents out, filling the holes in the roof and new black paint.

It's going to be a brand new truck when you're done! $5k is a definitely a fair deal for a good repaint job. Just the sheer size of the truck probably required twice the material costs of a sportscar.

That’s only the hood, 1 fender, 1 door and 1/2 the rear hatch....

Yup, including wheels, chrome, glass--Everything else. He was able to do it so cheap by saving money on tape, paper lol.

I was going to say, 4-5k for paint sounds like a deal.

Looking at painting my little vette my self, im at about 1200 just for primer, base, and clear.
Not counting stuff for prep.

Going with a metallic silver pearl, so that adds a little $$ due to layers needed.

1200 is probably pretty conservative... lol

Of course, I'm not buying the cheap paint.

That sounds like a fun project. Hope you’ve painted prior since you’re doing metallic and pearl. Both are very hard to do without blotchiness. Best of luck. Can’t wait to see it.

Never done a metallic, let alone a pearl.
been watching lots of youtube vids tho.

The plan is to paint a few things before i jump in.
If it goes well, my mower is going to match the vette...
Maybe I'll do something cool with my mailbox to start.

If it goes badly, then the vette might end up a charcoal, black, or some other solid color.
