Auto paint for the 1981 Ford F-150

Auto paint for the 1981 Ford F-150: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

What your car means for the work

As a pickup truck, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

Booking a time

Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.

A rental meanwhile

Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

A few things first

Ask any question you have before the work starts. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.

What goes into a quote

Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.

How long you are without it

We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.

Aftercare

Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.

Send a request

Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
