Just picked her up this afternoon, I had the remove all the badges expect for the ford on the tail gate. I think it came out like new, its got go back for the roof next month.
I wouldnt shave the handles , but i would paint them when you do the roof! I love the red! nice and bright and very clean looking! nice ride! And thats coming from a body shop owner!
You know what……… I have been thinking the same thing ever since I saw the picture, but I think it's the lighting in the pic that makes it look like that, I'm gonna take another one in the morning to the check.
Truck looks sweet man! If u don't mind me askin what did the paint run ya roughly? I'm lookin to get rid of the stripe on my truck and get it painted black just tryin to see what to expect for prices. Thanks
well here in maryland , for a all over paintjob like that it would startoff around $3500. and up depending on body work or how much of the truck they take apart. ( bed off, doors apart , hood , trunk etc). as far as the red truck, red is the most expensive color to buy.( at least in quality paint that is). we use PPG. and with that $3500. doesnt include the nornal rust over the rear wheels , debadgeing, dings and dents. let alone a color change.Just my 2 cents
I paid 3979.96, paint, body work, and they had to cover the holes for the badges. Body work was the real killer here because I had some big dents on both sides of the bed.
They also quotes me 550 to paint the roof & a 08 tail gate.
Thanks. That's actually not terrible (to me at least) since the body shop I went to wanted $2500 just to repaint all four doors and a little 6"x3" back corner of my bed that's in primer after a little crack was welded. But regardless, once again your truck looks great!
Yea thanks that's not too bad I have to replace the bed cause the wheel wells are all rotted out from the inside and a buddy backed into it when it was stock a crushed in one of the bed corners. Thanks for the info
I don't think I have found a set that I actually like. I don't want to smoked out one and you can forget about the ricer looking ones too. If I can find a stock looking set I might like those.
Very nice truck! How did the body shop fill the badge holes, I was going to do the same but am afraid of warping the panel with my mig gun. I have thought about removing those badges since day one, problem is all the other mods take priority over the appearance of my truck!!!
