It's a pretty vague question and I do not mean to be patronizing in my response. You have to give a few more details of what you are looking for and your plans for it. It's like asking about much will a kitchen redo cost, it all depends on what/how much you want.
Red base is now over $600.00/gallon. Would you use it on a woods truck? No Would you use Rustoleum on a frame off, probably not. Material costs have gone through the roof and paying someone to do it, right, will add up quick. You have to sit down and decide FIRST what you want.
TSC tractor paint looks nice when first sprayed but I've seen 2 here locally and they fade out rather quickly.
I've found painting to be a can of worms anymore. Mistakes are VERY costly and people are shying away from trying. EPA stuff is gonna get tighter too. We can still do it here on small scale but not on a commercial basis. I can see in the future suppliers only being able to sell to "certified" users. Another way for the gov. to collect fees and such.
