my 500.00 paint job

[1970shortbed]

this is just a quick job to make it all one color and shiny i have all new bumpers/grill/doors/fenders/box sides door seals ect blah blah blah

my boy is going to drive my truck from mid july to mid oct because the new car we ordered wont be in until then so i wanted to get the truck all one color and shiny and out the new parts on after he is done using the truck


all the body lines dont match exact and the inside is not done but i dont want to go through all the work of new parts and nice paint to have him bang it up so i will wait until i get it back from him

for now it is all one color and shiny wit ha new aftermarket air and and it is safe as i added disc/power brakes and replaced all the stuff in the front end and back

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

[shifty]

for $225, I would supply them the paint, let em sand it and shoot it i can take dents out, no problem. I'd prep the metal and everything. hell, i'd hand them the damned truck in pieces and let em shoot it that way.

i am in little elm just outside dallas the shop is on 121 business in lewisville

here is the web addy http://luckeysqualityautopainting.com/


they have a sweet 59 chevy short bed that the owner did all the body work himself and they sprayed it for him it is orange and pretty sweet

Looks very good. I like the stance, too.

Red + Chevy + chrome = virtual perfection IMO

Nice Job.

[cooters]

looks good, but for some reason the pictures sure make it look like the roof is chopped a little?

[Eddie H.]

Thanks for the info. I'll check 'em out. I may send some business their way.

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
