that all depends on if you want it to look like an original paint job. then you have to remove the interior and all. thats not cheap. you might get a decent paint job just spraying the outside/doorjam's for around 3k. i would just leave the truck its original color. atlantic blue is a very nice color.
cost for quality paintjob on my 05???
i have an 05 and it is everything i have ever wanted besides the color. it is the atlantic blue but i have always wanted a red truck so i want to get a deep red of some sort. my question is how much should i be looking at to get the whole truck repainted including the door handles and mirrors painted as well to a new color??? i was hoping it wouldnt top 3000 but i have no experience with painting so i am tryin to get some advise?????

If you want a "quality paintjob" to change a blue truck to red and not know it was blue and the extras you want 7000 +
I have had my share of paint nightmares!
Take that money and buy crazy mods for the thing.....maybe then the blue will grow on you!!!

Be very leary of a shop that says they will do it for 3 grand. A change like that should cost you in upwards of 5 grand in the least. The truck has to be dismantled to properly do it including removing the bed or atleast moving it back a couple of feet so you can paint inbetween the bed and the cab.
or if you are set on the change talk to a shop & see what you can do yourself to cut costs. (ex. removing interior)
Four years ago, it cost me 2800 to repaint the same color, no jams
or bed interior. Stripped to bare metal and back up

i`d just keep it blue,or take the money you was going to paint it towards a red dodge. use that money to help absorb the neg equity. they have like $4000 in rebates for 06 rams..yeah you are better off using that money towards a new truck.
Or you can buy red neons and at nite light em up and it looks red
