Anyone close to DE that can paint trucks?

Right now my truck is two different colors and i want it to be all black. Its a reg cab long box 1995 dodge 2500. The bed is black, the hood is black, and drivers side door is black, the front two fenders, cab, pass side door are green. The bed and door and hood could just be re-cleared i think and no base coat needed. Anyways its either a junky maco paintjob for $900 or $4000 for a good paint job. I dont have 4000 and id rather not waste 900$ on junk so i was seeing if anyone knows how to paint, has a place to do it or knows some one near Delaware or surrounding states that could cut me a break.

Thanks,

Garrett

I replaced it because some moron rearended me and it messed one side up a little, it was EASILY repairable. Well in the mean time i was installing new hubs on the front, it was late at night and cold out and i was trying to get finished up well i backed off the jackstands. Well i also installed new rotors and didnt pump the brakes back up, so of course it starts rolling and slams into my brothers work truck. Didnt do nothing to it but the other side of the bed gets smashed up. So I just took the insurance money and bought a whole new bed, and a new hood since the other hood had a few dings and this new hood came with a mint chrome grill too. I opted to get a whole new bed because of the damage and the rust that was coming in vs just repairing the damaged area's. I always heard bad things about maaco.. I want it to last so i dont want to be cheap and then have it flake off a month later lol

honestly, check the maco in newark. that guy is not just any maco, he has painted several show cars around here and does good work..

He painted a friends car, and he is the most **** guy you will ever meet. not the $800 job, but he spent $2000 and is very happy with what he got and alot of it was body work. check him out.
