My paint luckily has held up, except for the roof. The bonnet and fenders were repainted some years ago when while winching the cable snapped and the ****** block went through the windshield while I sat behind the wheel! Block bounced off the hood and took out the windshield. Insurance paid so now I only have to get the roof repainted,

Excellent job, Frank4! Great attention to detail!👍

What I don't understand is why paint jobs have become so expensive. Even Maaco.

Redrover has a lot of typical clear coat faults on the bonnet and roof, and I've been debating whether to have those areas repainted or let them age (un)gracefully.

$2.3 is pretty cheap for getting the entire truck painted. Most body shops were telling me $9k+.
