Default How much to paint truck?

How much have yall' been having to shell out for a nice OEM or better paint job? I got quoted $3500 and that doesn't include fixing a couple of small dings!

I have not looked into it personally but that sounds about right for a paint job.

But I would get several quotes from different shops.

If 3500 really is the going rate it'll be awhile before my truck gets painted. I've thought about maaco but didn't want to cheap out on this tuck. I want it to look like it just rolled off the showroom floor .
