Jeep is not finished yet. But here's a picture of the new hood, painted.

They have painted all the doors, and were finish-masking the jeep when I stopped by. I'm guessing it will be painted today, but not ready for pick up until some time next week.

The rest of the jeep was painted today, and followed up with the clear coat. Hopefully, it's going back together tomorrow and I can pick it up Saturday, or Monday.

I know its most likely a lot, but how much was it to have it painted?

total price for me was just over 2400, but it could be quite a bit less. You'll see when you see my jeep done. the hood was extra. The grill was extra too. Both used flat black paint rather than gloss, which costs extra. I also did all the jams and some other stuff.
