Just got a quote for "commercial pricing" through maaco to get the two big dents repaired, the top painted black and the truck painted factory blue. I may drop it off with them on Monday.

I need to get mine in for paint eventually, what'd they quote you?

It was a bit complicated and I don't have the quote in front of me. It was $940 total. That's with two big dents repaired, $150 to paint the top satin black, and stripping the hood and the roof down to bare metal and re-priming. The paint level was the urethane paint with integrated clear and UV protection. I think that's upper-mid level. 5yr warranty I believe.
Paint itself was quite cheap, the damn dent pulls and "reconditioning" of the hood and the roof cost an arm and a leg. To give a little perspective to get the dents PDR'd in house for cost was $425.

you are missing the long piece with a "hook" on the end of it. it is also used to operate the bottle jack.
this piece is stored in the driver's side rear compartment, where the rear washer fluid bag is (and the bottle jack is supposed to be).

Dropped the truck at maaco, kind of holding my breath until it's done on Friday.
Hope they get the color right! Last "before" shot.

Truck is back from paint! I'm pretty happy with the results. Two large dents removed and fresh paint for the body and top. The blue looks ever so slightly brighter than the stock paint on the inside but I still think it looks pretty darn good for the money.
Not so sure about the sheen on the top, looks ok but I may eventually put some bedliner on it. They said they did the best they could but the fiberglass was in such rough shape before they couldn't get a perfect finish on it. I think I got my money's worth at $120 for the top.
No rear bumper stands out worse now that it's all cleaned up. Need to take care of that ASAP. Also the windshield trim is pretty awful need to fix that as well.
Next on the agenda is.
-Find a rear bumper!
-Re-finish rusty wiper arms and exterior trim with plastidip
-Re-paint the grill and headlight bezels
-install my vinyl flooring kit
-find some used rear seat brackets and install rear seats and cage
-Hella h4 conversion
-Find/install a factory skid plate
-Get a dash cap or find another way to fix the cracked dash.
-find/fab a spare tire crank so I can mount/use my spare
-shoot some high heat paint on the rusty exhaust tip.

P.S. the things that look like paint runs on the top are actually just water/watermarks. Finish is actually pretty decent.

Need some rear bumper recommendations here. The metal portions for the factory bumper are everywhere but the plastic corner and "extension" pieces are nowhere to be found.
I don't really care much if it's a factory or aftermarket bumper, I just need something back there!

I also have the factory rear bumper and driver side plastic cover. The passenger side is damaged. I'll get you some pics when I get a chance.
