Paint question
I was wondering what a paint job for my '69 f100 would cost. I just wanted a ballpark idea. I don't want an Earl Scheib job but I don't want the best painter in the world to do the job. Just a middle to upper middle of the road job, sanded down to bare medal. There is not a bunch of body work needed. Any info would be appreciated.

You probably already know a quality paint job is determined by the quality of the prep.
The kind of paint job (using a 2 stage paint) you describe would go for about $4000.00 up this way.
This doesn't include Prep.
That's just the materials and the squirt.

If you find a guy who will do a complete paint job and step away from the insurance quickies- get you truck in there. I waited 6 months for my truck, and that was with me really leaning on him to get it finished!

I just got mine out of the paint shop. I had them take everything but the cab off the truck (doors, box, hood, tailgate, fenders). Had some rust fixed on the fenders and door skins replaced half way down. I used a Base Coat/Clear Coat and had the jams painted but did not paint the interior. My ticket was right at $4,500 (which included everything - Labor and Product). I did not paint my box but instead had it Rihno Lined. If you have someone else do the work I do not think you will get by much cheaper than that. My advice is if your going to take the time and spend the $$ do it right the first time. When it comes to body work and paint you get what you pay for. These truck turn the heads when they are fixed up right.
Good Luck!
