Blue 72 back from paint shop finally
It's almost been a year sanding and painting and finally was able to get it painted. I was like a kid in a toy store. I can't wait to finish it and drive the wheels off of it.

It's came along way from green to the current color 1 year and 3 months of hard labor and lots of beer.

Re: Blue 72 back from paint shop finally
Great Job. I really like that color. Also that wood bed looks great - Is that just a slide in that you can easily put in and out? Made out of cabinet grade plywood?

The color was supposed to be sport metallic blue like what you see on the 2010 ford fusion but the guys a Macco didn't quite get it right so I'm not sure what you call that color but it does look good. The bed I did with the best 3/4" sheet of plywood I could find at Home Depot. I cut it to fit added some 1 1/2" x 2" rails to the sides stained it walnut and put about 4 coats of urethane on it. Cost me $60 compared to $350 for the usual bed kit. It is just held in with 4 bolts and can slide in and out with ease if needed.

Re: Blue 72 back from paint shop finally
Yes I'd like to know also. After all the body work had been done,(at another shop) they quoted me $3K. I brought the Truck in 2 weeks later so they could actually take a look at it. The Estimator started adding $$ onto the quote that a normal Body Shop would do automatically. The breaking point was when she said...."Oh if you want the bed removed,
that's gonna be an extra $800.00 to remove it and paint the cab". I said,..... "you mean that doesnt come with the initial estimate"!? She said...."No...a lot of people dont mind if the bottom of the Cab is not painted." That's when I walked. Don't get me wrong. The reason I went to Maaco is because they had painted 2 other cars of ours and always did good work. Her parting comment was....."I THINK we can get it done for $6K" ![]()
