paint

The problem that caused it to peel needs to first be fixed.....the clear coat on my car had to be sprayed on 20 minutes after new paint to make the bond. If not done correctly it will peel again.

Average seems to be 10 to 15 thousand to respray a large rv.

for it to last , I think you will find that you have to sand and re-spray the base coat two or three time with a 15 minute time between coats and then the same for the clear coat. The Clear coat melts into the base and as stated it has a time limit to do this. You can spray the clear but it will not last long.

10 to 15 thousand would be a complete new paint job. There are companies offer just a new clear coat and I believe the last time I talked to someone about this it was around $3000.

I would think most of the cost will be removing and. Prepping it for the new material. $3000 sounds on the low side to me.

Wrong! Never sand base coat unless it is waterborne. You can spray clear over the base several hours after as long as you keep it clean.

Find a paint shop that specializes in painting MH's as they are the true experts.

NOMADAC has it right....but I might add to take it (also) to a truck painting shop. My clear coat was so oxidized (on my 2001 mh) the bottom 1/3rd had to be stripped and repainted. The top part...(white color) just needed a buffing.

Remove all the doors, grill, headlights, taillights, etc.....strip down, match the paint color, new stainless hardware....4 grand.

By pure accident I found this truck paint shop not 8 miles from my house.

Do it yourself. You can buy the equipment and the materials for hundreds or thousands less than you would pay someone else to do it for you.
It is not magic. A light sanding to remove all of the loose clear coat and then just spray a few coats of clear on top of your existing paint. If you get a run or two, these can be sanded down and buffed in after the coating hardens.

This is not how it works. You can sand all the edges smooth where the clear has come off but you will need to blend basecoat color back over those area's. If not the color will not be the same where the base was sanded.
