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!

morning paint jobs. The on-the-job education like learning to remove awnings!!!
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.
