Default I need to paint my truck

Have a 2003 dodge, and its red with grey on the bottom half of it, does anyone know how much it would cost to paint just the bottom half red?? Or if it is even possible ?

Wow, 4 identical questions all posted in various sections..lol....I merged them all and moved you to the 3rd gen Ram section. As far as your question, sure it is possible. You need to match the paint to the paint code of your truck, found on the door sticker. As far as cost? Depends on who does it. If you do it yourself you can save a bunch. Having someone else do it could cost a bit. Only way to tell is take it to a body shop and get an estimate.

Another idea would be to get the rocker panels line x'd or rhino lined. They have all colors even red. It depends on how you want your truck to look. If your looking at lowering, I would definitely paint the rockers red. If lifting, the bed liner spray looks pretty rugged and good.

Rattle can it then (cheapest), or plasti dip (more expensive). It's all about the prep as to how it will turn out.

What is your budget? I bet you can make a deal with LineX to have them coat just the bottom in red berliner.
