I have seen a few Class A diesel pushers for sale that have peeling paint and peeling decals on the sides. Anybody have a rough idea how much it would cost to have these painted? I'd like to know how much it would cost before I make an offer.

ALL DP I have owned and currently own are factory painted and don't have decals? and I have never personally seen paint peel on fibreglass surfaces? what particular year and model diesel pusher have you seen this exact situation on ??

I had a bid to remove the peeling clear coat, fill a couple of holes and repaint the coach for $29,000. This was for a 4oft coach and very simple graphics

Well it will depend on several factors including who does the work, quality of paint used, how much prep is involved (labor is the big cost), number of colors and the graphic scheme.

I had a 36' DP painted in 2011 for $13,500 and it was a beautiful job with excellent prep and high quality Dupont paint. I suspect a decent job with base coat/clear coat with 3 to 4 colors would run at least $18K - $20K. Some folks talk about going to Mexico and getting really cheap paint jobs but that would not be for me.

I understand that you can get excellent paint work for a fraction of the U.S. Cost across the Mexican border.
