Paint job done

This is how it turned out! It was done by Mike’s Custom Painting in Bremen In. The cost is figured per foot, ours was just under $15,000 it also included a new fridge vent cover and new awning fabric to match new colors. We also spent almost $4000 on RV Armour on roof- even though we’ve never had a problem. We are very happy with the outcome. We were sold on this company on the day we went in to check it in. the lot was a ‘92 Newell that they have painted twice to look exactly like it did the day the owner picked it up new in 1992. It was just gorgeous,is all I can tell you and when you touched it it was smooth as silk. As is ours now. We chose the colors and the design by working with them. Their designer came up with exactly what we wanted. It’s a 5 step process and takes 5 weeks to complete. Great experience for us and we think it turned out great.
  • Very nice! Now when you attempt to go to a 10 year rule campground, you can honestly say, "it's brand new!" (just don't specify "what" is brand new!).

    Congrats! Happy camping!
  • I really would like to do this at some point on my '96 Vogue. My paint still looks good but clear coat has peeled completely off roof. Maybe some day!! Looks Great!!
  • Mike did mine 4 years ago. Looks as good today as it did when they did it. At one time my before and after pic was in their travel book.
  • That looks outstanding. The price is about what it should cost for a quality paint job. If it is as smooth as you say then it was painted, clear coated, and finished sanded/polished to get the high gloss. This all takes a lot of labor time but the final product looks great. Enjoy
