Finally got it painted

I bought a 2000 and have done a lot of work, including swapping in a Cummins 12V. Finally got it in for the paint job. Here are a couple pics.

Looks great! I see you removed the cladding as well. I like the look much better on mine without cladding, too.

Looks really good. What's the black above your windshield? I really need to paint mine, but was quoted 10k. Before I do that, I'll use rattle cans. What was the ballpark to have it painted?

Painting

Because the roof was peeling and it was taking so long for the paint guy to get to it I had Line-X put on the roof. They stopped back from edge but covered space where roof rack goes. I had them bring it down to the top of windshield.
I paid 4K for the paint job. Would have been less, but I had him do the bumpers also. He fixed my crappy body work on the bumper. He fixed all dings. Filled in holes where he removed cladding. I painted running board.

Cannot tell from pics, but truck looks brand new. Now for some more work on interior.

Great job for 4k and was it originally white? What do you have on the drawing board after this?

I would have to ask the paint guy what kind. But he has a dupont paint computer there. It was originally white with the tannish cladding on it. I did not put that back on. This guy does outstanding work.

$4k including body work is a sweet deal for a vehicle of this size for sure. Looks good.
