Probably 75% less than a professional job, and the end result will look a LOT better than the original, so Good on You, OP!!

Coach was covered in crazing. Problem was the awlquick is same color as the coach so had to do grey primer first to see the cracks better. Sand grey spray awlquick. Sand awlquick spray grey primer again. Sand again before putting on color and clear. This is done at my shop for a customer.

Excellent job in process!
We take our MH into many treed National and State parks. We have sooo many scratches that catch fingernails (yup, through the paint).
I was showing your pictures (PURPLE! Her favorite color) to her and I realized that any future paintjob we have should be horizontal stripes to help hide the future scratches!

Reminds of "Plum Crazy"
The color of those '70 Dodge Challenger 440 R/T's.
Although, yours is a little darker.

Guys at the paint shop said same thing. They’re big mopar guys. Lost some time prepping for the hurricane and wasn’t able to work much on it. Should be back on it next week.ill put up more pics when it’s done. Last thing left to do is front cap and all the trim and bumpers to paint matte black
