Got it painted at Topeka Graphics and picked up on August 3rd. Larry Bontrager, President of TG is incredibly easy to work with. He fixed holes all over the coach in the top, put on new visor, fixed both rear storage doors, made a door for the Propane tank door, put on new SS hatch latches, new entrance lite. moved one running light to match spacing on other side, painted door jams and inside of hatches and rear storage compartments. repainted black the wheel wells and visible portions of frame, painted pod and AC cover,fixed dents and straightened out some body ripples around rear wheel well from blown tire,painted mirrors to match. What a nice Job!! Looks son nice on the outside that I'm hesitant to let anyone inside. Next big job is the inside remodel. Depending on the work you need done, the cost is between $4000 and $5000. Here's a link to our "new" coach.

Nice job.
I like the "interpretation" of the original Royale pattern (the stripes).
Looking forward to seeing it in DuQuoin.

Byron,
Thanks for noticing that. It was our intent to kinda replicate the Royale striping. Larry B. has access to a stenciler in town that made the "Royale" stencil under the cockpit windows.
