jasonm Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 So, did you have it repainted again, if the shop didn't match the paint well? How does everything fit? When my insurance company pays for an issue, the check comes in my name, and the bodyshop's name... If I'm not happy, the check doesn't get signed. The color being off (even a little bit) would drive me up a wall. The truck looks sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanis520 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 how much is to to have your tailgate shaved? depends on the place you go, usually around $500. the place i go to, the guy knows me and always gives good deals, he only charged me 300. hey man you should paint the rest of the front bumper, it will look a million times better, nice truck though, keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
