I finally saved up enough money to have my HORSE painted. I had that roof line clearcoat problem most of us 2nd gen guys get. I will post pics we she comes out of the shop. Can't wait.

Nice. I'll be looking into a paint job for mine come tax time next year. I've got the same clear fading on most of my roof and there's a few deep scratches down the passenger side and a few parking lot dings I'll be getting fixed as well

Good deal man! When you get it done try and keep a coat of wax on it every month or so. I still have the original paint from 97 and it is still in pretty good shape.

I am having my Ram 1500 4x4 Sport painted. It set me back about a grand. I am staying with the stock color. It is that Green Metallic paint. I really like the color and for some reason you don't see a lot of that color. I am having them leave off all the badges and decals, so I can have custom decals done.

I'm involved with all work on Red, so I go to a small Fast & Furious shop that does amazing work. But they work strange hours. Afternoon to pass midnight. loud music and pizza's. It's very entertaining.
