dkelly Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Greetings all and thank.you for sharing valuable information related to Monaco RVs. I am seeking vendors that do full body painting. I had planned to have my 2003 Diplomat 40" painted in Elkhart, IN by Mike Williams; however, the price has increased from 15000.00 to 22000.00. Seems extremely huge price increase; therefore, I am seeking alternative vendors...maybe closer to South Carolina. Thank you for your input.

Cubflyer Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Have you thought about a wrap? I have, but have not looked into it... only so many hours in a day..... Saw a Motorhome that had a wrap supporting a business at a campground in Denver last summer.. looked good far away and up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrtoofast Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It does seem like a significant jump. However, body working supplies are up big time. Since they are specifically petroleum based chemicals. The oil crunch is carrying over to other areas and increasing price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkelly Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 I have not thought about a wrap....I will r3search the option! Thanks Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrtoofast Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Car wraps run 1K to 5K depending. You can likely get one for around 10K. I would check Charleston, Atlanta and Charlotte areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Schmeckpeper Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Wraps that I have inquired about thay say have a 5yr lifespan depending on how the coach is stored & the environment you live in. Then they need to be removed. We just reserved a spot to get our coach painted in Los Algodones Mexico in February. Its a 38ft Monaco diplomat Full body paint 4 colors. $14G. It will take 5 to 8 weeks to complete. They have been in business 45 years. In the states we have been quoted 28g & up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenronn Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I know that Midstate Rv in Byron GA does a lot of paint including Bus work. They have a good reputation. I was going to get an RV done there but then bought my current one.Here is a link https://www.midstaterv.com/check-out-our--rv-body-shop-before-and-after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck B 2004 Windsor Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Nothing is being said about the late 90's coaches that came from the factory with decals on them. Chuck B 2004 Windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranPrix Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I just saw the current issue of the FMCA monthly magazine. In the classified section, there are several business advertising full body paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6Wheels Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 My 2 cents. I once saw a Beaver come in the campground with one color and lots of chrome. I think it was battleship gray glossy finished, and it looked wonderful. One color should be considerably less money and actually I prefer the look. Just me.

StellaTariche Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I also look into wrapping my 2000 Diplomat. Painted it instead. BUT, had I decided to wrap it, here was my first choice of designs: I imagined all the kids in the heavily wooded state parks coming up on this at dusk - lotsa therapy 🙂 - John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's reactions would be awesome to watch. LMAO Wraps do have a very limited lifespan, especially when stored outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the paint shops in Mexico remove and reapply all of the caulking as part of the job? Belt lines, slides, windows, vent panels, etc?
