Well, that's certainly much less than I was estimating! I was thinking 2-3 times that. I haven't priced any paint jobs since I was in Guam in the early 90's and then it was $6k to paint a small car!
My guy said he would not touch mine because his shop is not big enough. I got other problems now. I backed my work truck into my wife's car and done 4k damage. I wish it was mine. I could have got it painted!
I feel ya Joe. My wife backed into a light pole and messed up my bumper pretty good, plus she got the barn door some. Thankfully, they now cement the heck out of those poles just for that reason and the bumper did its job and the barn door didn't crack at all...just some scuffs. I can't get on her too much, I pulled into a parking spot and hit a pole that was guarding the A/C unit (although I couldn't see it over the hood).
I had a 97 dodge ram long bed redone from 2-tone to single and it was $3200. You can save money by removing non painted parts yourself. Weatherstrip, lights, lens, etc. Shop around and get estimates.
