Default Flat black paint job

Does anyone know how much it costs to have your truck painted flat black. It doesn't have to be by the best people in the world just some quality or does anyone have any successful results of painting it flat black themselves. Just something that looks pretty good and can last for a year

Buy a couple gallons of tremclad/rustoleum, thin it out and buy a cheap spray gun and spray it. Or my uncle painted a old camper trailer with a foam roller and thinned the paint out and you would'nt of known it was done by a roller.

I've decided to go with plasti dip. Hopefully it will turn this project into a relative cheap solution to my problem. Painting my truck, grille and ordering custom oval for the grille and decals for it. I'll put pics up if anybody wants me too. I'm hoping this to be a 150 paint job

Ok then I will. Do you know how many cans will cover it. Standard cab 8 ft bed. I'm thinking about 15 cans to do all of my truck and the grille

id get the kit where you spray it on, not rattle cans. it will look more uniform that way
