Default paint,

I have been thinking about repainting my truck to get some of the shine back, has anybody gotten a quad cab painted, and if so how much do you think it will be? Im gonna keep it the factory black and all the silver trim is gonna be black rhino liner along with the bumpers. Just trying to get an idea of how much it would cost for a good paint job.

^^^ yup. Anywhere you go that says less...RUN.
Your truck takes alot of material. Material alone will cost just a few hundred dollars.

Can you not claybar it to take the swirls/scrathces out of it? That will liven iup the color and bring back the shine. It will also darken it up at the same time. Claybar or have a pro shop do a good buffing on it. Just make sure it's a reputable shop because black is a tough color to buff as most buffer clowns make nothing but swirls all over the place and those are very hard to get out.
Claybar it and you'll look like Popeye when your done AND have a shiny ride again....lol

its been clay barred, and had a 3 stage mcguires and mothers waxes within the last 3 months, just not up to my standards, lots of little scratches. You have to be right up on it to see it, but i am always right up on it and it drives me nuts. I was thinking 3000 would get me back to the brand new look.
