How much for a paint job?

What do you think a body shop would charge to paint a Mega Cab including the door seals, door threshold, etc.?

I really wished I would have been a little more patient when I bought my truck and gotten the color I wanted (inferno red)

I have a feeling this might be a little cost prohibitive.

It really depends on quality.

I'd bet $5k plus for a decent job, and that's just scuffing the factory paint and spraying over it. What color is your truck now?

Pricey. Especially with all door jambs and hood jambs, etc., etc. I'd wager several thousand. Heck I was rear-end a few months ago. They had to replace the whole right side of the bed, repaint it, redo the liner and repaint the back side of the cab in one 6"x6" spot. It came to over $4000.

Just trade for a red one! It might be even cheaper. Gray is a classy looking truck i miss mine.
