Before and after 2011 Coachmen Freelander paint job.
Here are some before and after pics of our 2011 Freelander. No decals to fade or peel now, this is all 100% full paint with 3 coats of clear. Cant wait for the weather to break!

Wouldn't it have been easier to paint the truck on the trailer, white?....just kidding. I am not good at being funny.
Very very nice paint job!
Back in 2007 we got the full body paint option (roof remains unpainted white fiberglass) from the factory. MSRP on full body paint back in 2007 was $6020 which cost us $4631. Today MSRP is $6450, not much more over 7 years. Someone here guessed $15,000 to the OP. Some of you would be surprised how affordable it can be when ordered from the factory that way. The right RV manufacture with flexibility would likely be able to work out a custom color scheme, but less likely a different pattern.
Someone mentioned how caulking is handled.
A little factory caulking was done on ours over the paint with "Clear" around marker lights and such. You really have to look hard to see it. Very carefully done with minimal use of caulk. They did nice work.
Construction level caulking was done before the paint. We got 3 different color bottles of touch-up paint for covering over such if needed. 7 years so far and nothing needed yet.
I wonder how they paint "with perfection" all the patterns across so many uneven surfaces. They must use some kind of computer controlled method because it is just too perfect. No overspray between colors anywhere, not even in corners and such. It baffles me. Maybe there is a YouTube video somewhere on this.
