RV Paint and Body Shop Serving Placentia, California
Paint and body work at OCRV Center covers dent and panel repair, full coach resprays, graphics replacement and clear coat restoration. Labor is $210 per hour, paint supplies add $55 per paint hour, body supplies add $5 per body hour, and hazmat disposal is $45 flat. The shop completes 50 to 100 paint jobs a month, all sprayed in-shop in an enclosed booth ten minutes from Placentia.
Why is painting an RV different from painting a car?
Surface area, substrate variety and flex. A Class A coach can carry more than ten times the sprayable area of a sedan, and that area is a mix of gelcoat, filon, aluminum, ABS caps and previously repaired filler, each of which takes primer and topcoat differently.
Substrate mixing is the real problem. Adhesion promoters, primers and flex additives have to be selected per material, and a single coat schedule applied blindly across the whole coach will lift on the ABS trim or check on the fiberglass cap within a couple of seasons of Southern California sun.
Then there is movement. An RV body flexes as it travels, so the paint system needs flexibility built in rather than the brittle hardness that works on a unibody car. Panels adjacent to slide-out openings and cap seams see the most movement and get the most attention in the coat schedule.
Can your booth handle a full size Class A motorhome?
Yes. The facility is 35,000 square feet and the booth was sized for full length coaches rather than passenger vehicles, so a diesel pusher goes in whole. Nothing is sprayed outdoors, which matters in a region where overspray, wind and airborne dust are constant risks.
An enclosed downdraft booth pulls contamination down and away from the horizontal surfaces where it would otherwise settle, which is the difference between a roof or a hood that lays out flat and one that needs heavy denibbing and polishing afterward.
Controlled temperature also lets us cure on a predictable schedule instead of chasing ambient conditions. That is what makes a fifty coach a month throughput realistic without sacrificing film build, and it is why booth time is scheduled tightly against body work upstream.
