Well mine was painted a year ago Thanksgiving, well I got it back Thanksgiving he had it since that August 2007. I had never meet the guy until I stopped by his shop to ask about painting my truck. I went back and forth with him everytime I went to the trash dump. I bet I talked to him 50 times before he agreed to paint it.
I took the Chrome off of it and he did the rest except for the front bumper work I had another shop do it. He did paint it though.

He welded all the trim holes, old gas tank holes up and did all the sanding, I mean everything!

We even took the windows out of it.

Wet sanding.

Finished product...$2800.00 for the paint job + the extra for front bumper and trim peices. Oh the guy penstriped it for $250.00 and he came to my house to do it. I would say $4000 in total with everything. All new tinted glass.
