Find a painter (or several, an independent will probably be best) and ask them for options. Typically, the majority of the cost is in the prep work, so if you're willing to remove trim, help sand and just generally take on the piddly labor chores yourself, you might find a big discount. Obviously, if you want to do a color change it'll be a whole lot more expensive.

The other option is if it's just clear failure, is to wet sand it back to paint and re-clear only. This is a fairly easy DIY project and you could do it panel by panel if you wanted. Just spend the money on better clear (2-part, commonly called 2k). Again, the quality out is determined by the time spent in prep.

You can fix it yourself for free: 3rd Gen Dash Clock Fix instead of soldering the pins like he did just stretch the contact springs in the clock. I did that 3 years ago with mine and it's still working great.

I wish i knew this like two months ago. I tried soldering and just ended up giving myself a blown fuse so it's just plugged into the dummy port for now.

That looks good RB. Nice work.

Any thought of using Fluid Film (or related) to stave the affects of your wonderful winters?

Gave it a whirl while I had the center dash ripped out to install my GMRS unit. No-go for me

If that's the worst thing that happens today I'm doin alright I think.

Got my MXT275 wired up. Used an Add-A-Fuse on the Wiper fuse. The only blank slot I had didn't get any power at all. Found a ground via a bolt holding a bracket on the left kick panel, no idea how good of a ground it is but it works for now. Using a 4A fuse on the radio just incase.

Ignore the mess.

A friend is actually gonna help me get the clearcoat off this weekend. I'm terrible at detailing related things and historically have not had the patience to do it right. I'm more of the "hit it with a hammer and send it" type.

Got rid of the rotted out stock exhaust...



For the new hotness...



The install didn't come without its hiccups, but it was much more intuitive than a lot of other things I've done lately! Badass tone through all of the RPM ranges and stainless for longevity. Magnaflow hit it out of the park on this one for our rigs!

... also learned about how much is too much grease for our driveshaft yokes. I kept pumping until I saw the sleeve move, but the vibrations I had already been feeling from the toasted needle bearing and old front wheel bearing was way more pronounced after this last maintenance! Took the zerks off from the front and back shafts, drove down the street making sure to be heavy and sudden on the brakes and accelerator, and put the fittings back in. Everything is much more subdued again, so remember... TWO TO THREE PUMPS AT THE MOST! You're trying to grease the splines, not fill to capacity. You need the extra space in there to allow the two sides of the shafts freely move as the suspension flexes.
