how much would it cost because the paint on my truck is ok exept the drivers side rear fender and it's rusty on the fender lip so i want to fix it but i dont know if i want to re-paint the whole truck or if i should just paint the rear fender. it's a 1996 and i will have money coming after basic this summer.

Dark Montego Blue Pearl with Gray Metallic over rubber undercoat below trim [helps somewhat with rock chips]. PIA to keep clean but looks nice when waxed.

lol, couldnt hold the story back could you... I be that was fun explaining to the dealership.

i'd stick with the same paint color that you have. reason being is the rest of the truck (under the hood, in the door jams, between the bed and cab) would be one color and the rest the different color. every time I've seen a car for sale that had a paint setup like that I walked. I think it gives buyers (when it's that time) a better feeling about the truck. my .02 worth anyway...
