If you want your RV to look great for years to come, it can cost $15,000+ for a quality paint job on your coach with 3-4 colors, base coat clear coat, polyurethane that will last for a decade or more.
You can take it to Mexico and for around $5000 you can get a quicky Mexican paint job that will last for a few years.
A quality paint job is all about preparation which can take a few weeks to do it right removing all windows, lights, etc. The actual painting can take a week or so depending on the design and number of colors.
If the shop does not have a spray booth big enough to handle your coach, I would pass, unless you are just looking for a cheap spray job.
Quality polyurethane paint is expensive. Quality labor is expensive. Let you wallet be your guide.
Just remember, MOST any paint job looks great as soon as it is finished. If it was not preped right, you won't know it until long after your check has cleared.
