We are still in the Madison, Wi. campground at the FMCA rally.We spoke with folks from Mike's Custom Painting in Bremen, In. About doing a total repaint of our 1999 DSDP.From what they said, and what you can see on their website, I have little doubt they would do a first rate job.BUT, this requires me to take the rig back to Florida, unload all the stuff we want to have at the house, and drive it back to Bremen. Our toad is a Prius, so getting a cargo trailer to take our stuff home isn't an option.As an alternative, a Lakeland, Florida company, Creative Coach has a good looking ad.Can anyone comment, good or bad on either of those two companies, and/or suggest another Florida company for the job?We would be having the rig completely stripped, including removing the old faded graphics, and a completely different paint scheme done to update the look.Price is NOT the major consideration. Quality of materials and workmanship are what I'm looking for.If you have comments you'd rather not post on the forum, please send them to me at: rcowgill@cfl.rr.com.Thanks!Bob

Don't know anybody else, but Mike's would be my choice.

I had similar dilemma about 10 years ago and the paint jobs retailed about $30,000. I decided to go with wrap for $8,000 and additional bonus, I could use my own pictures.

Just rent a u-haul and load it up and drive back to Florida.

To clarify the issue a bit, I'm really looking for personal experience evaluations of these two businesses, or possible suggestions of other Florida based outfits.I agree. Renting a U-Haul truck would be one way to go IF we chose to go with the Indiana outfit.However, having the business within easy driving distance also has its attraction should my presence be required for a mid-job consultation.Bob

I had Creative Coach do some minor repair work (good) but my point is that I've seem some body repair/paint work and full paint jobs they've done and they're first-class.

I had mine painted last fall at Mikes Custom Painting. When I went to south Texas for the winter, most of my friends thought I had a new coach. Mikes Painting are great people and do great work with a great price. Tell Liva Roger sent you. She's the owners daughter. She helps with the design and color. Good luck. You can see pictures in my old posts.

Mike will get the job.
Creative Coach roughly quoted me $28-32K for the same work.
No brainer, there!
We will stay at our kids place in Cincy while the work is done.
We've helped them out enough...time for some payback! :-)

It's either base color plus four others, or four total. Don't recall, but four is plenty for what we want to do.

That is plenty of colors. Some of these coaches have too much design where they actually look terrible.

two and a half years ago I had Mike's Custom Painting do my coach .... Great job! I had gotten a price from from Creative Coach as they are only a few miles from our home .... $27K +. Mike's did it for $12K. BTW Precision Painting is on the next street over from Mike's, get a price from them.
