question about painting bed topper
 
I've been looking around for a topper on Craigslist, and every now and then I will find one, but it's the wrong color. Does anyone know what it might cost to get one repainted? Recommendations for the DFW area would be great as well.

Thanks,
Aaron

When I bought one for my 2000 silverado, it was ptm, and in 2003 I bought another silverado but different color! The cover fit the 2003 and the shop I got it at charged me $100.00 to repaint it to match!

About $100 is what I was thinking it would be.

That sounds cheap

Hope not. I may make some calls around tomorrow to know what I'm looking at. I always see big price variance around Big D. It's just a matter of knowing who to call. Unfortunately I have no idea who to call.

My ranger was 400 to recolor but i prepped myself and my dad went from ingot silver Fx2 to black lariat was 650 to recolor the camper shell /topper thing.

I would check the trusted body shops in your area. Surely they can give you a ballpark quote since just about everyone knows the size and shape of a shell.

I would expect to pay at least 200$.. if you went out and bought the paitn and clear you would spend damn near 100$. and if the original color is too far from your new color, it will need a sealer as well.
