For paint work, you can have cheap, or you can have good. Not both. Expect to pay north of 2K for a good quality paint job.

Or, find the thread from the guy that painted his truck with rattle cans, in his driveway.... and came up with a VERY nice looking truck.

Well If you don't have rust or dents that need fixing, you could look into the paint system that advanced auto sells. It comes in ready to spray gallons in a bunch of different colors. I have never tried this stuff myself, but If you trying to go the cheap route this may be the ticket for you. The main key is preparation. If the surface panels aren't prepped right then the finish won't look good. Even with this paint I'd still go with a good primer/surfacer and wet sand the entire surface. It's a time consuming job, but In my opinion well worth it.

You otta just keep the rattle can job...

Go to body shops in your area, get quotes from them, ask to see their work. Ask around town and see who is best.

Check out this post... you need to scroll down a few posts. I'm thinking about doing this to my trail rig, so I can make body repairs and repaint on the cheap.
