has anyone ever painted just the cab of their truck?

If so was it hard to find someone to do it? and how much did it cost?
I'm stalled right now in building my truck because I need my cab painted before I do any reassembly I don't have much money left after buying a huge number of parts but I am not a picky man, any advice?

If funds are tight right now, I would put it all in primer, then seal it with some clear...

Then when you are funded positive again, you can just remove the bed and front sheet metal and paint it...

Dont fail to seal the primer...otherwise it will deteriorate quickly...

Have fun

Do you mean the inside of the cab? I have a relative in the Kelowna area that owns a couple body-shops and can maybe hook you up with a possible deal..

I might just spray it with some rattle cans and put the truck back together just as a way to move forward for now. My father law will paint it for me but he is always too busy to get to it.

I painted my cab and doors inside and out. It does not match the rest. someday I will paint the front clip and bed.

You could get just one fender painted if you want, no shop should say no to just the cab paint job. I would remove the bed to have the cab painted, only because it is just 8 bolts and some wiring.
