Class A Painting

Iam in the process of painting my 97 Pace Arrow 34'...$1300.00 materials...have both sides done...paint from Summit racing ..seems as good as PPG...base/clear, metallic silver and candy apple around the waist where those hideous decals were...all bottom compartment doors silver grey. Bumpers black. Decals weren't fun to remove and some outlines still show in fiberglass.
The remainder I will buff out after we take a 6 week vacation next mo.

We just met another Class A owner who had theirs painted by Mike's in Bremen IN. the paint job looks wonderful! He paid $11,0000 a few years ago. We're going there to have ours done.

I was quoted $3,800.00 USD from a Painter in an RV Park in Mexico to paint Our Rig in One Color!

He wouldn't give Me a firm price on the Striping unless We could agree on the design ,but thought another Thousand might cover it!

Had my previous coach (2002 36' Winnebago Journey) painted about 3 - 4 years ago at Commercial Refinishers of Durham, NC. 5 base colors and 4 coats of Dupont Chroma Premier clear. It was stunning. $13,500.

When we recently traded the coach, it was bought from the dealer by the first couple that looked at it before we got off the lot with our newer coach. It was in great shape otherwise but that paint job helped sell that baby quickly.

Contact Robbie Gullie at Commercial Refinishers. Great people. If you check their website, they have that coach on there as one of their projects. It is the one that is primarily white and green.

I hear the $12k plus paint stories, but what if you just wanted to paint it solid white? Does that save any significant money? I'd be happy with a solid one color motorhome myself.

I saved a boatload of money by going with a single color. :B:B:B

North Texas RV near Dallas told me they do 3-colors for $500 a linear foot. This does not include any repair work that is needed during prep.

Some have had it done in Mexico and have been happy..

Had full paint done to mine this past February - March. It was done in Bremen, Indiana by Mike's Custom Painting. I was charged $12,000 and that included some bodywork.

I did it myself with a 5 gallon bucket of exterior paint from Wal Mart. The cost was under $80. :B
