Having been involved with painting a boat I don't see where the expense is in doing a front cap. You thoroughly clean it, you sand it, you primer it, wet sand, a couple coats of paint, couple coats of clearcoat & done.
Not like parts have to be removed or there is extensive taping to be done like going around windows etc.
The two places I got bids from do RV work. One place was strictly RV repair.
Both wanted to remove all the caulking and trim, sand paint, replace trim and caulk.
I'm 250 miles from the MFG and could drive over and get a new cap and do it myself cheaper.
Ironically I was talking to a sales/rep at the local RV show about my faded cap, since they sold the same product. He too says I know guys that get them painted for $1K+/-. Of course he didn't remember where off hand.
