I asked one of the better-known independent body shops here about painting an entire pickup (correctly...not just spraying paint on the outside). This was 3 years ago and I asked just out of curiosity and because the owner has been a friend for a long time. They told me to figure between $18,000 and $25,000 depending on how much would have to be removed and hung to do the job right. Around here $500 might not purchase enough paint to re-do an MG Midget. Especially if you used good paint and if it was red. Good luck!
