So we will camp 2 weeks in June as they work on the body and once we leave they will move it to the shop to paint the unit. We will arrange to come back a few weeks later. Lucky for us we live in Tucson which is 4 hours from Rocky Point. So our painting adventure.

Is your paint checking? Mine still has an amazing shine and finish but looking into the paint I can see all of the fiberglass strands or checking???
Is this what your Marquee is doing?
Also are you doing a complete repaint and what is the cost?

I was quoted $7k for full paint job to include body work. It was a combined priced since I wanted it all done together.

Paint work is crazing or checking through out the whole RV. Full repaint on 40 Beaver Marquis is 7k and I'm sure that price is standard. He did ask if I want a different paint scheme and I'm happy with the current one.

Friend just has some work (paint and minor body) done on his Jeep in Los Algodones. His comment was the work was less that for what he could have purchased the paint at home. And it was the same paint.
