well the term "you get what you pay for" definately applies here. I had my truck fully painted, both doors shaved, tailgate shaved with handle moved to inside, and the smooth pan molded in for $3400 by a well respected shop here in ky. I have pictures in my profile

well the thing you really have to look for is someone who will paint over your body work, i know alot of professional shops do not like to paint over stuff they havn't done. And if they do im sure they won't cover the job, but maybe.

Same here!I know that to do a color change on a truck with disassembly, reassembly,and show buff/polish, I can't come down a nickle under $9,000.00. That is with no body mods or crazy custom paint! Our shop is $75.00/hr labor and $40.00/hr paint/materials charge. It easy to have over 300 hours in custom paint and bodywork. You do the math.......

For us here in New York,we charge about $3,500 to $4,000 just to shave it all up in primer,them depending on what you want with paint its another $1,500-up...We don't use cheap products and like clean cut our HR rate is $75.00+..Like with most things,you pay to play,and to have it done right...
