Im getting ready to get my 87swb painted and the guy asked me what kind of paint job i wanted. He said do you want 10 foot curb apeal ?what does that mean? i thought you did your best at anything you did. and what should a good paint job cost? Lumpy

10 foot curb appeal to me means cheap paintjob that looks great as long as you are 10 feet away.
Generally if the shop does all the work (sanding/bodywork/prep/masking/painting) as in you drop it of green and you pick it up 5 days later and it is black and it is a professional quality paint job, expect to pay at least $2500.

Or more depending on how rough it is! I call them 50 / 50 paint jobs. They look awesome from 50 feet at 50 MPH! I do my best when I get paid for it.
 These are 50 / 50 paint jobs on 2 of my own rigs so I guess you could call them 25 / 25 paint jobs.




Some customers 50 / 50 jobs.
