Granted it was a full paint (inside of the;cab, fenders, bed, underside of the hood, everything) so, it took more paint than a car. But, the price on paint as with everything else has gone way up.
Yeah, you are right. I went back and priced out the stuff I am going to need to do my car when I get to it and I am going to be spending a lot more than I said earlier. I wasnt thinking about sandpaper and tape and stuff either. I am probably going to wind up spending about $2,500 for all the supplies and I am going to be doing all the labor.

Either way $3,000 isnt going to get you very much, less a $1,500 job unless you bring it in all taped and ready to go
