Lucky dog. How much is the bill gonna be?

You need to go old school on your truck with the color Sedona or Canteen Green or Copper. You want a color to stand out and say Ive got the best looking truck

I had a car resprayed once...and only once! Went from red to metallic gray.

It was done at a dealership, and they did a great job. However, I learned I am waaaaay too picky to change the color on ANY car that is not getting a frame-off resto, or didn't start life as black. If you don't pull everything out of it, you'll see the original color way too much for my taste. That's even when you paint the jambs, etc. I even had the engine bay done a satin black while the motor was being built. Still, every once in a while when doing a project, I'd see the red and it would drive me crazy! Then again, I am absurdly type A :D

How are you painting the engine bay? Pulling it completely out?

i agree. it would bother me to be doing some kind of work under the hood and then bam..... you see it. granite......anyway yeah they are pulling out the engine doing jambs taking off mirrors and taking off bed..... and all sorts of stuff.
