Depending on which grade of paint job you want it can run from $250 for a basic paint job and upwards to $1,000 or for for a like new factory grade finish. Usually Maaco will charge an extra $100 for a paint job on a truck and another $100 for a color change and other Charges to paint the inside the cargo box and or the door jams,How much does it cost to have a small truck painted at Maaco?
the price is different on each vehicle. according to the need of body work or other repairs that have to be made before painting. thats why they want to see the vehicle.
Trucks are always more than cars. You can usually get it done for $400.


Just remember that quality paint sells for $300-400 a gallon at body shops.


You get what you pay for.
Maaaco doesn't post these. They don't quote you over the phone either. Its a sales tactic that most car dealerships/autobody have. They make you come in, and sucker you into a price, saying that you won't get a better deal anywhere else. Call them and ask for an estimate. If they tell you that you can't, ask them for a number to another autobody paint shop. The last thing they want is to lose a customer.
You'll have to stop in for an estimate. The paint and its application are the cheap part of the job. The cost is in the prep work needed. Any damage has to be repaired properly or the finished job will look like crap.





Every job is different and you need an estimate from the shop that is going to do the job. Get estimates from several shops. You may be surprised to learn that a good local body shop may be cheaper. The may charge more for the paint job itself, but can often do the prep work better and faster resulting in a better job for similar money.
