The cost can vary greatly. The variables include the complexity of the paint design, the number of colors, whether it is a duplicate of what is already on the coach, which sometimes can be done without stripping the old paint, or a new design, which normally requires stripping, etc. Further, most coaches over ten years old require at least some body repair when repainting. To get the best results, the Newell factory paint department normally strips a coach to bare metal and repaints using the newer base coat/clear coat system instead of the older single stage paint. In most cases, the customer elects to repaint using a design typical of our current new coaches rather than applying a design from an older era. A repaint including selection of a current design, stripping the coach, and using four colors is approximately $29,000, with the caveat that there are often extra cost add-ons requested to the work. The Newell paint department is often booked up weeks in advance, so we are in the process of completing an additional state-of-the-art paint booth to offer more customers factory fresh repaints. Anyone wishing to consider a new paint job from the Newell paint department can discuss the particulars including estimated cost with the department manager, Jerry Allen, at 1-888-3NEWELL.
