the add-a-leafs were about $100. I could've got them cheaper but didn't want to wait around for shipping up from the U.S. (probably would have been a wash anyway with shipping costs)

 

@canadiandodge: I would totally recommend the rattle can approach. Considering the manufacturer wanted $700 to paint it and most other paint shops didn't want the business (stupid Calgary).
I just scoured it real good and shot a coat of cheap primer (didn't have to, but figured that stuff sticks to anything and paint sticks to it) before laying down 3 coats of base and 3 of clear. Paint cost me about $100...I have a bit of orange peel going on but I also haven't had a warm enough day to buff it out properly.

 

Looks good

 

Great job with the painting, nice work. And the Ram 17's look good on the Dakota. Bring on the snow!

 

Looks Good, I like the look of the 97 Wheels!

Good job on the Cap!

I scored this leonard camper shell this weekend for $150.00. It is atlantic blue instead of patriot blue, so I'm going to rattle can it myself. I use this when we go on trips, the dog rides back there. Sorry for the thread hijack.

 

dang.. im starting to with i had kept my old camper shell.

 

where can i get a camper shell like that Keaton? i'm really startig to think i'm gonna wanna put one on instead of a tonneau cover!

 

Found mine on Craigslist. They are actually quite handy for traveling and when I go to the river, also provides a nice place to sleep... kinda takes away from the "sport truck" look of the dakota though. Not something I would keep on permenantly. I am also going to have a tonneau cover.

 

Looking good! Damn it , now i want a camper shell......
