I need to get my truck painted, and can afford about $2k.
What do you ask for...
I know paint jobs can range fom $200 to $10,000 or more, so where does a $2000 paint job fall, and what should I expect for the money.

Primer
Block Sand
Primer
Block Sand...How many times, or just until it is done???

Base Coat
Top Coat
Clear Coat
Winter Coat????

Should I expect a couple of flaws, orange peel, fish eyes, or should it be perfect???

As you can tell I have never had a vehicle painted before, so I guess I just don't know what to expect for the dollar spent.

Thanks.
