Looking at prices on a few things. Basically, what would a decent price be for a GOOD (no maco ****) full vehicle paint job including door jams? Secondly what would a decent price be to get some graphics done?

hard to say on paint depends on color, type of paint, how much body work, ect ect, for graphics are you talking vinyl, or painted?

any wheres from 600 for small squiggles to 1000++++ for graphics, more detail the more money and being painted the clear has to be blended to not feel any tape lines ect,although if your getting paint done same time they wont need to blend, complete paint with graphics range from 3500 to 8k+ for good work, i had a sport bike years back that had complet custom paint and graphics painted cost 6500 and that was a motorcycle

If you looking outside of shop options then Send a PM to Mike aka 08QuadCTD on here for some prices. He has put out some top notch paint jobs on members parts and recently just finished a sweet job on a Nova.

He is in Maricopa.

You can really bring down the price if you do a lot of the prep like removing the weather stripping/taping/sanding etc.

Typically a two tone job is in the neighborhood of about 5k to 7k. Add some air brush and you're quickly up to about 10k. Want the door jambs done and the that's easily about another grand or so.

As Daniel mentioned if you do all the prep work yourself you can easily knock off a few grand.

A lot of the cost is the prep work ie dents scratches etc.

So if I wanted the whole truck done, that would be in the area of 8-10k including door jams.... but that also depends on color correct? And then what ever graphics I want added in, not air brush, more like stripes or something of that nature.

I have had enough with doing body work and prep, I'd rather just let someone else do it and do it right. I spent A LOT of time on my old truck with body work and I dont want to do that again.

might be still cheaper if you supply the paint and remove the weather stripping. From your past pics and videos i could not see any dents and being in AZ we don't have to deal with rust so that helps a lot regarding body work.

look at shops previous work carefully before deciding to go with anyone, and some shops do cheap work but turns out great i had my womans g6 front end front doors all the way to the bumper painted for 625 i did do all the prep work though, they wanted 1200 to do it all turned out real good but yes for a repuitable shop you are going to pay 8k+ for everything but still check there previous work, and do not pay until your 100% satisfied so check it good when you go to pick it up
