Total Re-skin. Possible?

I've got a '06 Cavalier. The skin is in rough shape. Thought about patch panels for some areas. Then I got to thinking about just replacing all the skin with a more common type and for the fresh paint. So not only does the current skin need patches, It also needs paint. What would I be looking at with this? Thanks.

    It's approximately $12,000.00 to re-skin and $12,000.00 to paint on a 40' motor home... Not cheap... This is for a fiber glass re-skin quote...

  • a few years after we bought our new Itasca Suncruiser (and AFTER it was out of warranty) our dealer discovered that there were many spots on the exterior where the fiberglass was 'popping'...small pencil eraser sized areas. they contacted Winnebago who agreed to replace the entire fiberglass exterior for us...nose to tail, both sides...at zero cost to us. all we had to do was remove everything from the interior, deliver it to and pick it up from forest city.

    the point is that the exterior fiberglass *can* be replaced by Winnebago but I have no idea what it would cost. won't be cheap.

    good luck.
