Need an opinion

It can be a tough call when money is an issue. My brother works for a paint
shop in Lakeland, FL and he told me a typical paint job for a Wanderlodge runs
about $25k-$40k. While I'm sure the workmanship is outstanding, it's tough to
cough up $30k for a paint job on an 85 PT40 that NADA books at $27k. It's one
of those things where you'll never, ever get your money back.

Now, if money weren't an issue, I would be all for the best paint job ever by
the best painters in the States!

and checking for bare metal on areas sanded by hand and run down thru the
prepaint coating is where in time, once in a while they may get things right.
There can never be a replacement for the superior quality of USA craftmenship
and service. Kind of the reason Canadians buy Wanderlodges.

Algadones has a superb reputation. The prep is awesome as they hand sand the
whole coach. There are bus conversions running around that had jobs done there
beyond 5 years and they still look good. He has gotten better with removing
external items such as awnings. I would not hesitate to have my unit painted in
his shop. The cost difference is in the labor not the paint.
