How Much Does It Cost to Paint Bed of Truck?

Painting a truck bed can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the size and condition of the bed and the type of paint job you want. The cost of paint alone can range from $50 to $200 for a gallon of quality automotive-grade paint.

If you’re having a professional painter do the job, you may need to factor in their labor costs as well.

The cost to paint a truck bed also depends on how much rust and damage is present. If there is very little rust or damage, then it can be easier to repair and repaint than if there’s extensive rust or damage.

In extreme cases, it may be necessary to replace the entire bed with a new one.

The type of paint job will have an impact on the cost as well. A basic repaint should include sanding down the surface, priming it, then painting with two coats of color and one top coat of clear coat for protection. For more elaborate designs or custom paint jobs, additional layers may be necessary and will drive up the costs.

Finally, there are other costs associated with painting a truck bed such as supplies like masking tape and sandpaper, primer, sealer and reducer which all add up quickly.

Conclusion:

Overall, painting a truck bed can be an expensive project depending on the size and condition of the bed and the type of paint job desired. It’s important to factor in all costs associated with painting including supplies, primer, sealer and reducer as well as labor costs when having someone else do the job.
