Rustoleum Flat Black with some paint thinner and an air gun and about an hour of work:

so do yall think self painting will be the cheapest way to go?

BoostinChick

If you have the patience for prep work yes. Doing things yourself is usually cheaper if you do it correctly. You save money on labor and often times equipment/parts.

Definitely. Cost me like $5 in paint. The devil's in the details (prep work).

yeah, well ill fer sure look into it! But yeah prep work............that gonna be looong.

Only took about 3 hours to take off the trim parts, sand the cab down good, and mask off the windows, then an hour to paint it. Can't see why it'd take longer than 5 hours to decently prep a truck with a bed too. I mean you can take as long as you want and take it down to bare metal, but for a decent prep job it shouldn't take too long.
