Just looking for direction. My truck's paint is gone, and I'm looking to respray the whole thing. Mostly to keep it from progressing to rust.
I found a shop down the street with decent reviews. I went in, and had the manager look it over with me. I was shocked when he told me it would only be $1400 for a single stage urethane job, or $2k for base/clear job (keeping black color). In both cases this includes him doing all the prep work (even though it' s a regular cab, he'll have his work cut out for him).
Should I run away?, is that too cheap? He showed me some of his work (all looked good to me, even the urethane single stage stuff). He even showed me his less than stellar work he did 'super cheap' he said, and showed me the dirt/crap that was left stuck in the paint. Minor, but I could see it all over this 'super cheap' paint job he did on half a car (he also said it wasn't polished yet)... His 'nicer' work looked good to my untrained eye.
I've seen some single stage come out nice with a little polishing (I was told it would take the urethane a month to cure before I could polish which i'm fine with).
Anyone have some 'cheaper' single stage paint jobs they could post pics of? Should I just spring for the $2k, or runoft to another place?
