Exterior Renovation
We just bought an RV about a month ago and it's time to get the exterior looking good again. It's actually in pretty good condition as far as white parts are concerned but the stripes are cracked and peeling around the edges.
I'm looking at two different options but I'm not sure which is the better way to go. The first is to remove the existing stripes and have new vinyl made. This will cost about $3,100. The second is to remove the existing stripes and paint the stripes on. This will cost $3,500.00.
The shop I'm working with has told me the new stripes, whichever way I go, have to match the existing stripes location. This makes sense as I'm sure the finish under the strips will be different than the rest of the coach. I like the idea of paint because there are so many colors to choose from and the painter is willing to do a bit of air brushing to add a little detail to the stripes rather than doing just a solid flat color.
Let me know what you think.
