Painting Prices???

I've got a lot of stuff in my garage thats needs to be painted. I'm gonna start going around and getting quotes over the weekend. What should I expect? Here's the list:
Street Scene Wiper Cowl, Mirrors, Side steps, Bed Rails, End Caps, and roll pan. How much am I looking at, my truck is a 99 L, Oxford White.

Buy a compressor and do it yourself

Get a good compressor with a spraygun or HVLP and you can paint anything you what anytime. Plus you get the bonus of being able to use air tools, inflate tires, etc.

You could get an entire rig, and a set of air tools for less than $350 from Harbor Freight. Their prices are one step above stealing.

Wiper Cowl was $100.......but it needed ALOT of prep work before the paint was applied.



Cowl hood and rear wing was $400. Not much work needed on them

Fast Gator.

That looks like the Skyway Bridge. I live about ten minutes from it and frequently cross it at 100plus mph on my Honda Valkyrie.

You are parked on the old span that was knocked down by a barge in 1980. Are you from here or was that a vacation shot?

I was born and raised in Tampa, but have been in yankee land for the past 12 yrs. I was down for the Monday Night football game against the Steelers. The Bucs lost the game, but won the SuperBowl Been a Bucs fan since 1976, so yeah, Iam a happy camper.

As far as crusing across the Skyway, Ive use to make a few 140 mph runs across it in a 96 in stroker Harley. I was gona stop on top of the new bridge and take a picture there, but FHP was sitting there. Also cancelled plans for a 140 mph blast across in the Lightning

Hows this for "perferred" parking for a Monday Night game?

Kind of like how I park. I hang a HUGE sign in the bed of my truck that I prop up and it states:

"CAUTION: Radioactive, stay at least 100 yards away"

"Coming in contact with this truck could cause cancer, brain damage and possible crushed skull syndrome"

Works pretty good except now to figure out a way to take care of the dive bombers (birds)

Notice all the Crown Vics in the background. It was funny standing back and watching all the looks the Lightning got
That was a Taurus behind me
