Anyone know est. cost for paint?

[Vettster]

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.

Drive it like you stole it,

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.

To get rid of the pee color, I'd pay ANY amount...

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

Hey why spend $10K on a paint job when you can go out and spend $35K & trade your truck in for a different color limited edition right.

The only reason I can think of to buy yellow H2 is so Adam won't pee on it (what's the point?)

The cost depends on the company and their attention to detail. There are several ways you can go with it. Just a few ideas to play with;
Go two tone for one. Less paint and body work.
Check out the local trade/tech schools and get them to do it as a class assignment. I had a 1951 Chevrolet done for the cost of paint and a case of beer. (yes, this was several years ago)
Also, check out the local collages/design class. Offer a cash prize for a paint design for your Hummer. Students always need extra money.
Check on getting a decal for the sides. Black heckerboard, about 2" high and a taxi sign for the top.

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.

Yellow rocks. Sounds like you're not much of a man tho. Ditch it and go black with teh rest of the wussies.
