SuiteSuccess Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Need to get hood painted or lined. How difficult is it to remove the hood on a 2006 Volvo 780? Local paint shop doesn’t have booth big enough for semi.

lappir Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Can't wait to hear about your results. My hood is faded and I cannot seem to bring back any shine to it at all. Quit trying years ago. Checked with a friend about a repaint, but 15K was not in my budget. That was for the whole truck, didn't think of just doing the hood. I'm sure the prices have gone up a lot more, by now.

JPL Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Carl When I was headed to the ECR in 2016 i painted the hood in the back yard. Looked real good and the price was right. Just takes time to tape and some fore thought about how you are going to reach the highs and the lows. Be sure to be careful with over spray. Find a body man/painter and have him spray it. Just a thought. Pat The Old Sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loli and popi Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 fellas....i am in the process of building my retirement vehicle and i just finished repainting it last week. it is a 2007 volvo vn780. painting the hood is pretty easy to do, need a few supplies. i can walk you thru painting with a single or two tone color so long as fancy mural stuff aint involved. shoot me a message and i will call or text to help out. i sprayed my truck with single stage urethane paint and it works great, shines great and is easy to work with. highly recommend the 3M paint gun with removable tips and cup above. could probably paint your hood for under 1k with buying all supplies.

How did a man walk AROUND THE WORLD?? One step at a time. I have multiple paint projects and I am breaking them down into pieces so they dont seem so daunting. First one is failing clear coat on my Teton: $12K for a complete single stage/1 color paint job. I bought the material and will just respray the clear. Most painters will say it wont last, well I need 5 years and then it will likely be someone elses, so it will work for me and get me around my world. I guess its mostly about your objective.

SuiteSuccess Posted July 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Here is the final solution. Had several quotes to repaint entire hood. Cheapest was $4500 if I removed the hood and took to the shop. Auto body/paint shop. Quote from Volvo dealer was $5000 for hood and they would not have to remove. They had truck paint booth. Dealer cost to JUST repaint mid panel $1500. I elected for dealer to just spray bed liner like bumper and roof….cost $870. It’ll last me five years. Not ideal but workable and looks okay, Quote 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.
