Re: paint job
White is the best color on a ranger. I might be biased.

I don't know why people think this to be true.
Aside from gold colors, white is the easiest to keep clean. You can never tell when mine needs a washing, aside from the tires. White never shows the dirt.

If you wanted a white truck, you should have bought one.

Re: paint job
a complete color change, done to factory standards is going to cost more than a grand. probably more around $3-5k. to do the color change right, all the jams and under hood need to be done, the truck needs to be disassembled, etc.

Re: paint job
I went down to a local body shop to see what they wanted for a new quarter panel with paint and install. They wanted a little over $1500. looks like I am learning how to paint soon which will be fun.

Sure Maaco will paint the truck white for $1000 but you get what you pay for.
Plus repainting the truck a different color than original will destroy the resale value. Only a retard would repaint a 3 year old vehicle if the original paint is still like new.
