Last week. Pulled into El Manglar RV Park in Zihuatanejo Mexico. Next day a body shop crew arrived to do a fiberglass and paint repair to a trailer next to me. Was impressed with the workmanship so I asked about a small scratch and a chip out of the glass at the edge of one compartment. Then we walked around the rig and since they would need to match paint how about painting a ding I had had repaired years ago and just primered. Then the rock chips on the front and another small divot on the right front done years ago.
A few days later, sanded, filled, sanded, primered, colour coat and clear coat then buffed. 6300 pesos, roughly $520.00 Canadian, $370.00 US. And you cannot tell where old paint ends and new paint begins.
They have offered to do a wash, cut polish, wax and buff the rest of the rig for 2000 pesos more. Tempted at only $165.00 Canadian ($120.00 US)
Some things are so cheap down here that it is easy to hit the end of the pension before hitting the end of the month!
