Does anybody know of a good automotive painter in calgary that does fairly inexpensive paint jobs???? I was gonna try Maaco, any ideas? How much should i expect to pay to paint a ford ranger extended cab?

 

I got my truck painted for $1000. I did most of the prep work myself, sanded is all down, removed all the trim etc. I had a pretty bad cumple at the end of one of my back fenders, he fixed that, primed most of it (I primed the areas I repaired). The truck was in not too bad of contition, it just had the early 90's peeling paint problem. It's a '90 F-150 Reg Cab long box. I had it painted with '97 Ford Midnight Blue, and clearcoated. He actually did a really good job, and I was pretty impressed. I found him in the Bargain Finder and he seemed like a good honest guy. I should have some pictures somewhere if you would like to see the results.

Just my 2 cents Hope it helps

What was the name of the company??? Yeah i have the paint peel problem too, and the only dentage i have is a little dent on the tail gate.

 

It's just a guy I found in the Bargain Finder. He did a good job for me, so maybe check him out.

Show me a picture of your freashly painted truck. How long ago did you get it painted?

 

Was there any dust trapped in the paint, runs, or orange peel? (just wondering if he has a good downdraft booth).

Ford started it; Ford will finish it!

 

Nope, no runs, orange peel or anything.. I have to get some pics developed tomorrow, then I can scan them for you guys. I'll try to get some really up close ones.

 

Here's two pictures, they're not the best, but oh well

Looks like a nice paint job, i think i'll give that guy a call. Nice truck and rims, i jave those same rims, i wanna sell them though.

 

What size are those rims you have? I'm looking for some 15x8's, mine are 15x7 but I want bigger tires.

 

They are 15X8.5 have 245's on the front and 275's on the back. Good tires (Kelly Charger). email me coul-1 at excite.com and make me an offer.
