Need an opinion

Mike, I agree with you 100% many folks compare Mexico price savings and do not
qualify the level of value they contracted. the damage is that good United
States dollars goes out of our economy.

Trade is fair but to compare price without qualifying is damaging to the good
harworking environmentally compliant USA craftman. Unlike your friend, The
average consumer has not the time or knowledge to make management inspection of
the prep and coating process. I bet you friend will be screeming once again in 5
to 7 years.

The best thing about owners looking at their paint prep is they always feel the
need to rub their greasy hands on the prep.

to inspect the work and to point out anything that was unacceptable or not the
way he wanted it. The end result was a *very* good paint job. And for the price
that owner paid, it was beyond a screaming deal, that he could not have touched
in the states.

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.
