Puerto Penasco - Resurrecting "The Good Times"; Painting, Upholstery & Mural

We're back >:D 
Got to Justin's in Tucson on Thursday after a month down in PP. LOVED it! We had a wonderful time hanging with Ken & Dori H. Ate our weight in shrimp. And got some great work done on the coach. So on to the important stuff.
As some of you probably saw we had a little accident in Palmdale, CA. , crunched the  driver's back corner.
Temecula Valley RV did a great job on the mechanical repairs. They were Very accommodating , letting us leave the coach with them while we went to Louisiana. And letting us stay in their parking lot while repairs were done. Really good folks there. I highly recommend.
We caravaned down to PP with K&D, from Q. Landed at the Reef Rv park. Went to see David Munoz since we both wanted upholstery work done. Must have caught them in a slow time as they came right out for the chairs and couch, had them back in about a week.
Talked with Antonio Geraldo re painting the coach. I really can't say enough good things Antonio and his crew. They did a beautiful job. It doesn't look like the same coach. We LOVE IT!! Antonio is truely an artist with an airbrush, his murals are fantastic.
At this point I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Very pretty mural!  Glad to see you kept the dark colors on the bottom, and white on top of coach.  Much more cool (literally).

Ric,

How did you like The Reef RV Park? The spaces are larger and further apart. Looked good but we didn't like the restaurant as well. Prices night/week?

Looks Terrific!!

That's really sweet. Nicely done. I thought about a mural on the back of the coach, and perhaps we'll get one. My plan is to go to PP and January or February 2021 after quartzsite. Biggest hardest part about a mural in the back is coming up with one.
how much of a lead time do you need to give those guys in order to get that kind of work done? Is it something I should start calling about now for a year in the future?
What about the roof? Did they paint that and if not did you get a quote on how much it would cost to do that? Thanks

Morning Y'all
I had contacted Antonio in December, after the crash. At that point I didn't know his work, I got his name from Twig. I sent him pictures of the damage, he said he could fix it. He quoted me a price of about $7k for repairs and FBP. We arrived in PP Jan. 24, we moved from the Reef to Playa Bonita. A can't do full paint at the Reef. We liked Playa Bonita, priced about the same.
A started on the coach 1/28, he adjusted his price when he realized we only wanted lower half painted. I think he under bid the job, so when he finished I paid him more. He did a good job on a difficult project. He and or his crew were there ever day at 10 until dark, except for wind or monsoons. They all work incredibly hard. His crew are all family.
He wasn't going to charge for the mural, but of course I paid him anyway. You'll have to get a price from him. ^.^d . There is an album of his work in the office at Playa Bonita, beautiful work. Many of the murals around town are his.
He finished with us on Feb.26. He also did some touch up for Ken & Dori. He's doing a FBP for Tommy D. what I saw looked great.
I would suggest booking early he is going to be Very popular.

PS I had them polish the roof, the gel coat is in good shape, and that was extra.

Antonio's work is all over town and the RV park. Whenever we saw one we would check for his signature. It was almost always his work.

The mural of the dolphins was amazing. It looked like they were jumping out of the back of the coach!

see ya
