ok, went and got some estements today, the best one I found was, a new bed pannel, a new hood, shaved door handles and talegate, new rear window, frame undercoated, new window seal, prep. and a fade paint from silver to black, for 4100 usd... good deal or not?

I would say $4100.00 is alright considering paint and materials is damn near the 1/4 of the cost.Plus your getting parts and some extra work done.

cool... i knew automotive paint was expencive... but 1/4 of the price? wow, thats steep... but good to know that you think its an alright price, thanks
