What does it cost to paint a van?

[danpauselius]

Looking at a really nice diesel van but it's white and I need black.

hey no fair.........I bet you could get it done for a grand

A good test for an automotive painter is BLACK, which will certainly separate the men from the boys. Expect to pay more than usual...close to $2500 I'd guess with a little shopping.


The upside? You already know...a striking platform for eye-catching graphics.

Thanks,
Lee

Lets ask Ken S, just for a good laugh!

Ken probably pays $100 per truck due to a volume discount, LOL.

With as many trucks as he has, his mechanics probably can touch them up, pull small dings and paint a useless rig if needed. Discount shops will paint a truck for a grand. But, they won't pull a thing. No lights, decals, bumpers...etc. So...pull em yourself and slap some temp lights on and get it painted.
