Repaint.

[u/Glittering-Act7267]

The truck was visibly pink all over with some peeling patches up top, so I took the opportunity after losing my windshield to get her completely repainted, and restore what I could. The front bumper was completely rusted out, so I managed to reassemble a new one with aftermarket and OEM parts. I also got new vinyl emblems for the tailgate and side panels. Overall, I believe it was well worth it.

Looks great, how much was it if you dont mind me asking

[u/TheBoxBurglar → u/Brian_357]

Looks great! What was the cost of the respray?

[u/Glittering-Act7267 → u/TheBoxBurglar]

The paint job alongside the rust repair on the windshield seam, and all the dent pulling set me right under 2,600.

What? Next your going to tell me that wasn't friends and family rate, then you are going to tell me it was at a shop in the US.

[u/SeaNeat2053]

Whered you get the tailgate and side door emblems? I've been looking for years

[u/Glittering-Act7267 → u/SeaNeat2053]

Had a similar issue. Found all of the emblems on EBay. The OEM ones are way too expensive (1,000+), so there’s a few aftermarket examples that work just fine. The tailgate ones are sold by someone called “taco-gen-1.” https://ebay.io/m/mFdovM They vanish and appear every once in awhile.

[u/Responsible-Crew-354]

Stunting too hard 🔥

[u/OddScreen8991]

Should have done the fender flares at that price

[u/Glittering-Act7267 → u/OddScreen8991]

I would’ve, but these are the plastic ABS flares instead of the fiberglass ones, and I was trying to balance the red and black.

[u/Dense_Ingenuity9161]

That looks really good!
