You guys are making me want to paint my Evergreen Pearl a different color!!

I know this is an old thread but I've decided that when my truck turns 20, which will happen in 2017, I will repaint her from black to SRP.

I expect to spend at least $2500. Should look pretty close to this one at that point. :snacker:

I want that!!

I really love the reds, when I got my '01 the Sunfire Red paint was all but faded away, but I did get it repainted. I got it repainted Salsa Red Pearl/Metallic and appreciate the color in almost all lighting.

Well heres mine...(not many pics of it before I painted it)

Ballpark figure on the repaint? Mine is faded bad.

Probably more than you are willing to spend. My dad was a painter at a premier shop so I basically got it done for 500$. A ballpark figure would be about 2-4K depending on where you go. Go to Maaco or something of a lower tier like that and probably 1k. You get what you pay for though.

Mine. Hood is faded like some of you guys. But also roof and rear hatch. Paint coming soon. 97 sr5 4wd

99 SR5 4WD. Almost completely bone stock, except a pioneer touchscreen headunit, and those lovely LED corner lights.

I do want to ask your guys opinions about what color to paint my headlights when I do my projector retrofit. Stick with chrome, or do something else? My buddy said do something crazy like matching the lights with the red pearl. Any suggestions?

I'll bump this old thread with a pic of my new daily driver. 1997 SR5 with 224k miles.

Recent 3rd gen swap

I went from a rusted 2002 Desert Gold Limited with ~158k to a 2002 Sunfire Red Pearl/Thunder Cloud Limited with ~137k miles. Far less rusty. Spent a bunch of years in Wyoming as per the title.

The fuel door is also now Sunfire as it needed repair when this was taken. Figured I’d use the clean pic since it’s already snowed and been sloppy here a few times.

Pretty fond of the color. Though my 98 sr5 in Anthracite is probably tops.
