Painting tailgate???

KennyTJ · 04-14-2010, 02:24 PM

Is there a GOOD but resonably priced place to get a tailgate painted the same color as my Jeep? The tailgate is not on the Jeep and is stripped ready to go, I would just like it the factory paint code to match!

Thanks

you could try a technical school. like my old highschool D. Russel Lee/ Butler Tech would do it for just the material cost.or they used to idk who runs the class now.

Yeah at Butler Tech. they whould do something like that but usually there the turn around time is longer since they learn and work on it.

Haha! you could be right about the tards part!

I didn't know if anyone in the club did that work, I like supporting members buisnesses. Eventually as the build progresses I'm gonna have the Tube fenders, rockers, rear corners, and maybe the beadlock rings all done body color. I found a small local shop in Lebanon "Don's Autobody" sounds like he is gonna be pretty reasonable.

Thanks!

If you're anywhere near Donald Drive, CK Customs does good work. After the wife re-arranged a Hyundai, Chris paint matched to a faded car. I'm sure he could do it again.
