Class C Motorhome Graphics Replacement

We have a 2006 Coachmen Freedom 258DB Class C Motorhome which is pretty new to us. It came from California and is in great shape but the graphics are badly faded and peeling from the sun. We would like to get them all replaced. Can anyone recommend someone who does this type of work in Michigan (Detroit Area)? We are OK if they are not the exact same design since Coachmen changed ownership the originals might be hard to come by? We would like to have the fiberglass shine restored as well. Also any estimates on what this type of service might cost?

Any help or advice is appreciated. We have searched and found some shops that do this work but they seem to be all out west.

Thanks bfitz

The Camping World here in Grand Rapids does some of that type of work. I also found a place in White Pigeon, MI when I was doing some research on having the same thing done. Don't remember the name, sorry, but a web search should turn them up. I think there were a couple places in the greater Elkhart IN area as well.

Good luck...would love to see before and after pics...

If you want a direct replacement for the originals I doubt you're going to find any thing. I would recommend however that you change from the stick on graphics to an identical paint scheme.

We had a problem with graphics peeling around the passengers side window. When we took it to the Winnebago factory in Iowa even they didn't have replacements. They did however trace around the originals. Then remove them and painedt the areas the exact same pattern and color. The new paint looks better than the graphics ever did and there's far less chance they will peel or fade.

In the long run painting was cheaper and better quality than the stick on graphics
