Most times, a decent full paint job is kinda on the pricey side of things. If it were my truck I would buff out what I could and do what else I can to stop any fix any rust I could...

Posting some pics of your truck would help in getting peoples opinions so they can see it and give you a better honest opinion.

my opinion is if you have the money to do it right, do it all. lasts longer idk much better than seeing your baby painted up. pretty amazing. but if your broke like i am after just painting my truck....just fix the rust and save till you can do it all. but this is just my opinion lol

I agree. If you have the money to have a quality body shop do the job and do it right, I'd have it done. But, don't have some cheapo job done on it. You won't be happy, plus someday all that mess will have to be removed to do the job right. I tell you this from my own experience .
