I have seen $25,000+ paint jobs on some custom automobiles, and they were worth every penny. It is impossible to estimate what is a good price for an RV paint job without knowing the materials to be used, the prep work to be done, and the amount of care done to insure a good paint job. As with most things, if you shop price, you will usually get what you paid for. If you want, and demand, quality, it will cost you. High quality paint costs big money. High quality skilled labor, costs. Proper preparation of the surface to be painted takes time, and you are expected to pay for it. Removing all trim, windows, slide seals, etc, is necessary for a high quality paint job. Masking off of windows is much cheaper but is considered poor quality since the window seal around the edges will almost always result in peeling paint in a short time.
Enough clear coat to give a smooth finish between different colors is considered high quality. A noticeable bump between colors is considered acceptable if you are trying to save some money. Let your wallet be your guide.
Trying to save some money on your RV paint job may actually cost you some money when you try to sell it in the future. Poor quality paint jobs are easily spotted and it will make a perspective buyer wonder about your other maintenance practices.
