Paint Job - Scott Forman - 12-09-2005 05:09 Anyone here ever had their FC painted? What should I expect to pay? My FC still wears the original bronze/brown/creme colors and, while the paint is still in excellent shape, I am interested in changing to a more modern color scheme. I am very partial to the blue/gray/silver colors they put on the fater model FC's. Any advice? Scott Forman 82FC35RB Memphis Paint Job - Mike Hohnstein - 12-09-2005 07:01 IMO a real exterior upgrade requires stripping EVERYTHING off the bus, goat fence, tread place, ACs, vents, windows, wheel well rubber, every thing. Then there is the paint and striping and the reassembly, all new stainless screws and fasteners, resealing the windows, polishing every thing and installing rubrail extrusion and all new weather striping for that. 20 grand would be a steal. If you email me @ mhohnstein@... I will send you some pics of mine.

He just repainted his coach and it looks pretty good!! He "soda blasted" before priming and painting etc...

They also removed and machine buffed wheels and chrome. I removed all awnings, hardware, head/tail lights, etc.. and left the shop tape the windows and aluminum rails. If I were doing it again, I would have removed the clearance lights and aluminum rub-rails along the sides. Who ever does it, make sure that they paint the jambs on your compartment doors. Some shops will just tape off the coach and not worry about door and compartment jambs. I would recommend painting the jambs with the darkest of the 3 or 4 colors that you decide upon.

They completely stripped it, did necessary body work, primed and painted with three colors of R-M Diamint base coat/clear coat. This is the same paint used on Caddies, BMWs and other high line autos. I used Nararro's Shop in Algodones. We stayed in the coach while they worked on it. Cost was only $5,000. Comparable jobs in the US were priced at $17 - 24,000.

Ken & Patti Marsh Mpls ~ Keepin' our eye on the prize Full-timing as of March '07 ToWanda'89WLWB40ft ![]() Re: [Wanderlodge] Algodones Paint Shops The only number I have is for Navarro's Shop - it is a Yuma number which is better quality. (928) 343-2750 Ask for Enrique or Socorro. They are the owners. There is a Mexican number but it is almost impossible to get thru on. I don't have a number for Mannies shop.
