So i have had it with my 06 qcsb truck as it sit. Its 4" lifted with big fender flares that have worn through the paint to bare metal. I am thinking a big change for her bringing her down to leveled hieght and a new paint job from mineral gray to some shade of bright white ditching the flares as well. So my question is what would a quality paint job cost to go from mineral gray to white. Nothing crazy for paint color cost maybe even just a factory white. Thanks Matt

At least 6gs easy I would guess. Possibly way more.

Thanks. I was guessing 5-7k cheaper and easier than buying another truck lol. You do paint work?

Nope, I sure dont. I'm just guesstimating bud, im sure its way more if you want a legit paint change.

On my 97 ex. Cab long bed I was quoted anywhere from 3 to 4 k same color. Depends if you want door jambs, and under hood painted etc etc. My advice don't cheap out, you will regret it in the long run.

Yeah guys not going to maaco. Lol.

yeah don't cheap out, you'll regret it later. another thing to consider is if u do a color change, the engine bay will obviously stay mineral grey(unless you take the motor out and paint the engine bay also). that has bothered me in the past and i have vowed never to do a color change ever again. just wait until i find the right color car/truck and if i need to paint it again, it will be the same color.

You'll definitely get what you pay for however you decide to go, especially in the door jambs and under the hood for a color change.

The "legit" way to paint that is too take the cab and box off and paint the under side and the engine bay and also strip the interior to bare metal do it as well.

I'm thinking like 10 g's for a complete quality color change. Every little piece has to be sanded and painted. It's quite a job.

We just did a Cadillac hearse at work and it's pushing $20,000 for a complete color change.
