    Alright so I have a black TSS off road tundra and its got some pretty bad bird crap etching on the roof and above the driver door (the part between the top of the door and edge of the roof). Been thinking about getting just those parts repainted same color bing bang boom.

    BUT my curiosity has gotten the best of me and now I'm wondering what the cost might be if I got the whole thing repainted a different color? Anyone know what this might cost for a good paint job?

    I've seen a few tundys out there with full custom paint jobs so I know it's possible

    Probably cheaper to get a wrap than a new paint job

    With door jambs, I would guess about $2700. Just a guess, been a long time since I had a truck painted. Bed and clear coat probably another $700 more. That's without any scratch prep. or dent work. Good luck!!

    Depends on a lot of things, 3 to 5k maybe, depends on graphics or just straight color, thickness, quality of the material, and of course will vary based on labor rates where you live. As far as last, again depends on what you pay for, 5 to 7 yrs or so.

    I was 3k when I paid cash for my tundra to get completely painted and some panels hung. Came out looking good. The only big complaint is the. $200 bed I put on has waves in it. But that would of added a lot of $$ to the total cost

    Have you tried buffer & polish?

    If its that bad, it's worth a try if you haven't done so already. I just knew my hood was going to have to be repainted a few years ago due to bird poo, but I was able to get it cleaned up with a lot off polishing.
