lol thanks but if u look down the side of it it does not look as nice ( still ok) but there is a place here that will do a base acrylic paint with no door jambs or extras for 225.00 thats just tape it off a quick sand and shoot it with one of the 15 or so different colors u have to choose from mine was a bit more because i chose a different paint and had them do a few other small repairs my bill was around 750.00 when it was all said and done Last edited by 1970shortbed; 06-21-2007 at 06:54 PM. |

Re: my 500.00 paint job
I'd say you couldn't beat it with a stick
![]() Looks GR8 for what you say about the set-up and style of shop ![]() Will they do more in depth work as inside and such just on a scale like more money the more you want done basis? It sounds like it the way you explained that you spent $750 in the end. There prices seem GR8 IMO RJ22... ![]() |
