Re: Anyone know est. cost for paint?
I got quotes from two local reputable paint shops last summer to paint my 05 and it was going to be between $9.5K and $11K (no custom work, just one color). Alot of the cost was labor having to almost totally disasemble the vehicle and then re-asemble it. I guess I could have saved some money by not having it put back together, but oh well. Unless you have a buddy in the paint/body business thats going to give you a good deal, I would be real hesitant going in for a $5K paint job. Just my opinion.

Re: Anyone know est. cost for paint?
As mentioned above, the 10K is about avg. for a quality paint job. They will have to take the truck apart: doors, hood, rear gate, all need to come off an be taken apart just to start. than all the sanding and preping. IMO, getting the yellow color off would be a wise choice, but Desert Sand is the way to go.

Re: Anyone know est. cost for paint?
Was told at the dealer (Houston) that a color change would be approximately 10K.
All of a sudden, red wasn't my favorite color anymore.

that's more in line with what i was thinking. $10k.
its something that has crossed my mind also, but i really like white, and aftermarket paint would never hold up like factory paint, so... maybe i'll sit tight until the truck is a bit too banged up to go on, and then get it painted some kinky color or other.

Jealous, as are most who purchased an H2 but forgot to add color.

Take off all acseeories you want to keep, sell the yellow, buy a balck for the same price. Or go to a stealership that has a black one in similar shape, year, etc and tell them you will swap H2's with them for $2,000.00. That way you wont be Hummer less between deals. 2k is cheap and a hell of a lot quicker than having someone paint the truck.

This idea sounds really good after reading TAZ's post. I'm getting ready to return back to the US of A so maybe I will sell it and pick up another. Thanks folks for the info.
