i don't think anything will last longer than the original...cause it's crazy. but what you're looking for will be like 10,000. our z28 we had painted...and they provided liek 400 pictures of them removing doors, door panels, reservoirs, weather stripping.

My present paint job has only lasted 6 years thus far...I'm starting to see fading/white areas on the hood and on the top of the door..

I would say at least $1500. What color is your truck?

Wow, I would've guessed more like $3K for a like-the-factory paint job.

Paint is EXPENSIVE now, just to buy it. A color change will cost you even more.

I will toss out 4K. You should take it a few places and get quotes, and I am not talking Maaco. If you want a qulity job you need to hit hot rod shops.
