01
How this category works
Large-format paint is a different discipline than automotive paint. A 40-foot coach has more surface area than six cars, the panels are not steel, and the original finish is frequently a multi-stage graphics scheme that no longer exists as a factory formula. Matching it means spraying and adjusting until the letdown card reads correctly under three light sources, then blending far enough into the adjacent panel that the transition is invisible at any angle.
Posted labor rate for this category: Body and paint, $210/hr.
Location: All work is performed at our Yorba Linda facility. We do not offer mobile, roadside, or fleet route service.
