Subject: body work prices???
IP: Logged

Message:
well my truck is a 98 cc and there is a lot of body work that needs to be done. first of all, the paint on my hood and roof is messed up. along with some little dents, the right side of my bed and a little of the rear cab is scratched and the quarter panel around the wheel well has dents that dont look they can be popped out. also there is rust on the bottom of my driver door that was there when i bought it. cant really see it on the outside except where a tiny chip in the paint has led to rusting out under the paint and along the bottom of the door. i guess the previous owner didnt put touch up paint or anything on it. i put touch up paint on it but the damage has already been done.
so what would be a good estimate to put on the body work??
would it be cheaper to have it all done at once, or to do it separately? ex: fix my quarter panel and have it painted, fix the door and have it painted, paint the hood and roof, pop out any little dents and have everything else painted?

Good Day: your best bet would be too try and bondo the dents your self and then get the whole truck painted all at once the only way it would be cheaper is if you painted it yourself, but for a good paint job you are looking at around 2 grand for a 6 coat paint job with 3 coats of clear coat, i know because i too had to get my truck painted and it cost me 2 grand, you could prolly get it done for cheaper but you get what you pay for, a cheap 2 coat plus 1 coat of clear will prolly cost you 5 hundred at macco but it's totally up to you anyway i hope it works out for you.
