How much to paint tan trim white?

I have the two-tone White/Tan Lariat and am just looking for a change. What do you think it would cost to get the tan lower part painted white?

You could always just scrap the tan paint off. There is white paint underneath.

Except for the front valance.

I paid $400 to get the grey down the sides of my truck painted black but I also switched to chrome bumpers.

Actually the two-tone bodies get painted completely with whatever the upper color is. The bottom color is applied over a fully painted body.

Could you really effectively get through one layer or paint?

Is the clearcoat applied over the top of both to create a "seamless" edge?

I was asking because it didn't make sense to me. When it doesn't make sense, that doesn't mean I believe it... that means I want to know what the hell he's talking about...

It wasn't a dumb question. I was wondering that also. Some people like to make fun of others for asking questions on this site. I guess we're not of the same caliber as some of the "F150online Gods"

Using common sense is not making fun of anyone.

And there are never stupid questions, only stupid people. J/K
