Paint Question

Trying to decide if I want to get my truck painted but haven't checked on prices yet. Does anyone know what a decent/good paintjob would cost (on average) for the outside of the truck, interior, and the engine compartment......and the price being with the paint shop removing the engine and also the interior.

Or you suck it up, and do it yourself. I learned on my 69 Camaro Conv't. It turned out really nice. At least if you do it, and you make a mistake, you know you will correct it.

Get yourself a turbine sprayer and have at it

If it cost 6-8K for a decent job, I will be doing it myself!

Would 6-8K be just droping the vehicle off and saying paint it? What about if everything is stripped and preped?

Smart man You can get cheaper paint jobs, but it is hit or miss if you will be happy
