Body work & complete paint needed
Cliff notes:
01 f350 crew cab
lots of dents and dings
I'm pretty sure the color is called highland green and I want the same color put on.
Maaco quoted about 17 hours of body work ($1100) - $2500 total with base/clear.
I can email pictures
I did just replace the tailgate with one that only has 2 minor dings.
I do not need the roof, the inside of the bed painted (will get spray-in liner), or the jams.
I am in Lithia and looking for someone close by if possible (Riverview/Brandon). I am willing to help sand or do any of the "grunt" work. I can leave my truck for 2-3 weeks if needed.
Looking to spend $1500 if possible and I will be putting it on a credit card so if you don't have a machine, then you will need a paypal.

I know a couple guys on here are somewhat close to you. Your problem is your budget. That truck is big and eats up a lot of material and room. I paint at home and to be honest your price range get you a honda Civic done by me--not a vehicle 3X larger. Hate to send anybody to Macco but....

I concur, that's a big ass truck and a wee little budget, for any decent materials would take about 1,500 when its all said and done. And if Maaco quoted you 2500 then more than likely anyone else on here that will do a better job than bottom of the barrel shit like macco, and econo puts out, will be alot more expensive.

Thanks for the info.
I know I didn't clarify this, but the hood can be fixed via PDR and doesn't even really need paint - maybe wet sand, buff, wax, done. I'm not wanting to touch the roof or the interior of the bed. Really it is just the sides... if that makes a difference.
Yes, it is a big ass truck...
I might be able to extend the budget OR get less work done, but I am willing to spend some $$ and I know some people out there are hurtin right now. I think I am willing to be very reasonable, and I do understand that I need probably $5k to get everything done right... I just don't have that much $$.
