??? Full Body RV Re-Paint Job, 15 yrs old, its time ???

Hi All,

It's about time to get a full body re-paint job done on our large 2005 class A.

Over the years I have read about getting a full body Re-Paint done in Mexico.

It would also stand to reason that getting a full body re-paint job done in a state like Texas or Florida would be a wise choice, as Texas and Florida seem to be have the most activity in high end RV sales.

Of course it would also seem to reason that selecting a paint shop that would accommodate our comfortably staying in our rv during this lengthy experience would be a wise choice.

So... those of you with direct knowledge on this topic... youall with direct knowledge that have experience with repainting a full body rv paint job...

???

!!! thanks in advance !!!

    I have a Cousin that was proud as a peacock about their $495 repaint of their car..

    Yeah, it did look sort of shiny and it did have some color, but the orange peal and overspray was everywhere.. Even the engine had changed colors..

    Paint jobs are only as good as the prep work done before painting..

    Prepwork like sanding out imperfections and masking/taping takes considerable amount of time to do properly.. If you want a "Earl Shibe/Maaco" type paint job that is a 50 footer that is up to you..

    Since you are in CA, most likely could get a better price in any other State if you shopped around a bit.. But I would insist on seeing some of the shops customer work before committing..
