Wrap is finished

Well the wrap is complete with a few minor final touches which will be done within the next week. I must say that I am not enthralled with the wrap. It is not as glossy as a FBP job would be, and the shades of grey's turned out to be darker in person than I would like. But for the time being it is as it is. So we have a new beautiful interior, a brand new engine that makes me smile when I drive it, and a so so wrap that I hope will grow on me.

Front end is kinda muted - perhaps just the light in the photo.  But it looks great in the side view!  Now get out and drive it!  ^.^d

Looks really nice, Rick! Sometimes drastic changes like that on large items and our preconceived perceptions make reality disappointing; however, to the rest of the world you've done a beautiful thing! Anxious to hear how you start to enjoy the coach now! Just know it looks great and surely I'll be great with all you've done and been through to get here!

See ya' down the road!

Kept under cover 7-8 years with no care, just keep it clean as possible.

I like that grey, it is not garish , subdued, but elegant. It is a keeper for sure. The inside is elegant also.

No one else has asked so I will. How many places do a wrap like this? Ballpark cost? 

It does look absolutely great! Probably rock chips won't damage it.

There are lots of places that do wraps But these guys said that doing a wrap like this on a big coach was quite a learning experience for them, things like removing awnings,lights, and wrapping the edges of the compartment doors, also better seam placement as well. I got the lets experiment on your coach price so I overlook a few little details that most would never notice. The cost would vary from coach to coach depending on condition of old decals, or no decals. But I just spoke with the owner and he said 9-12k depending on weather or not the owner wanted to put in a little sweat equity or not.
