ROAD DOG · 12-28-2003, 08:35 PM

I've been wanting my 1970 K-10 to be professionally painted for some time now.The engine is in all dressed in chome. The cab is clean. New shocks, new tires. New gear ratio on the way. New light lenses all around, new repo mirriors. been doing body work the last month. I've been saving the paint job for last. The original color was that chevy baby blue. the inside cab is also that color. I want to paint the truck a medium dark charcole gray with small metallic flake for depth. Then overcoat. I also want ghost flames the same color but like 3 shades darker. From the front grill to halfway back on the front fender. I want to leave the inside cab alone .With myself doing all the bodywork and prep(besides primer) how much will this cost? I don't need $500.00 per pint paint . Just budget ,go0d looking. Good quality paintjob.

This is my first paintjob for any of my vehicles. I've never even been to uh oh maacoo.
My budget is about$ 500-800.00 dollars maybe $1000.but thats a stretch.
thanks.
