    Cost estimation?

    I'm looking to black out my truck, it's a dark green now. Anyone have an idea about how much it would cost?

    Want do you want to do, paint the whole truck, Plastidip the whole truck, just plastidip or paint the chrome?

    Some paints I have used for automobiles ran around $400/gal and I usually need around 2 gallons for a van or pickup. There are paints of lesser quaility that are cheaper and also some real expensive trick paints. Or you could go with rattle can flat black for a few bucks a can.

    Good luck with your project!

    They make special paint to do that. It's more durable than primer, where all this started. Looks the same.

    Are you doing this yourself? Or hiring a shop?
