I'm deep into my truck now.
It's running better than ever, I just got a rear disc conversion installed, and have most things in general the way I want.
The (black) paint on my '05 crew was half-assed from the factory.
Micro-thin and orange-peel everywhere.
Now with 9 years and 132k on her she isn't looking any younger.
A couple years ago I asked one of the best body & paint guys I've ever known what a total re-paint would cost.. He's a real pro and he doesn't work cheap. And good body/paint doesn't come cheap. That much I know.
At some point I may be ready to bite the bullet and go for it, but I'm curious what some here who're more experienced than I have to say..
In my case, I've a tonneau and bedrug on the rear, so I wouldn't be painting the bed.
