Is it worth it?
Just wondering on what opinions are out there on painting my 1995 Ford F150. It has 163kms. Dont know if its worth the money versus age of the truck.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Yeah, runs good, 4x4 inline 6, auto . Lots of new parts - brakes, gas tanks, rear diff seal, all u joints and ball joints, 4l shifter serviced(rusted), O2 sensor, vaccum cannister, drive belt, etc.
I plan on keeping the truck but I am not sure I will. I tend to sell things after a while.
My only complaint is that its a pig on gas.
Tks

go for it, if anything it will raise the resale value quite a bit
on edit: just remember, if you go for a different color than you have now, you'll either have to redo the door jams and under the hood, or deall with the different colors.

It all depends wether or not you're going to keep the truck. You have to remember that if you sell it, you're going to be losing money. I know that sounds kinda dumb, but you wont get more money than what you put into it. For example: random truck is worth 3000 dollars. you do a 2000 dollar paint job. You probobly wont get 5000 for the truck.
If you're going to keep the truck for a while, then I'd probobly paint it.
