getting my Bronco painted
Well, I got a home equity loan and paid off the last $2500 on my 95 Bronco and I've got about $1000 left to get it painted with. I am hoping I can get a good paint job for that price.
The truck now is the two tone XLT, white and green. I want to paint the entire truck dark blue and get rid off some of the moldings and so forth. I also want to get my vent-visors, bushwhacker fenders, and lund hood scoops painted to match.
Is this even doable with $1000??? I was going to start but just driving around and talking to shops to get some numbers and see who I like. What should I be looking for in the paint job and the shop?
Should I plan on doing some of the prep work myself to save some money? I can pull off all the emblems and molding and tire rack and so forth if needed.
This is a truck that I want to keep forever so I want it to look good and de durable for awhile. I would like to hear ideas and opinions.
Thanks

Hi Alex - Welcome to FTE & the Bodywork Forum.
There's been many posts about the cost of getting a vehicle prof. painted. Do a search of this forum.
I think you'll find that $1,000 won't get you the paint job you're looking for unless you do all of the prep work yourself.
