having RV repainted in Mexico .. suggestions/advice?

[Mary Fowler Leek]

Navarro's Paint & Body shop in Algodones, Mexico has been suggested for RV
repainting. It is located just across the border below Yuma, AZ.

Has anyone used this shop and care to comment on their experience? I'm
mainly interested in approximate length of time to complete and where you
stayed while the work was being done.

My thanks,

MEL

I had them paint a truck for me and they did an outstanding job. I
needed body work as well as painting. The day I dropped it off, they
had 6 guys around it either straightening/repairing or sanding. It was
one of those with popping paint, so it had to be sanded down to the
metal. The next day I went by to see how they were doing and they had
just finished all the repairs and sanding down to shiny metal and it
was in the spray booth being wiped down before spraying on the
undercoat. That afternoon they sanded the undercoat and the next
morning applied the color and that afternoon applied the clear coat.
The finish looked like a new truck and when I sold the truck 5 years
later, the paint was still in good condition except for a few rock
dings I got on an Alaska caravan.

There are plenty of motel rooms in Yuma just off I-8 down from the
Cracker Barrel. :-)

Thank you so much for this helpful information. May I ask, how did you
acquire your cost estimate for the work? We live in the mid-west so running
by their shop is out of the question. I called their shop to ask if they
could provide an estimate if I sent them some photos but Enrique is out
today so still don't know much about costs.

My thanks once again,

I was spending the winter in Yuma, so I just drove over and got
estimates from all the paint shops there. While I was getting the
estimates, I was also looking at the work they were doing. They were
not the cheapest, but were by far doing the best paint jobs. They were
1/2 what the Ford dealer in Yuma wanted for the exact painting
process. Things could have changed since then, but if I needed a
vehicle painted, especially something the size of a motorhome, I'd
have no qualms about driving from GA to get it done there. Get an
estimate from a local paint shop before you go, so you won't think
they are taking you to the cleaners when you get down there.

Hi,

We had a 35' GM converted coach (bus). Took it to Navarro's shop. they
completely stripped the coach to bare metal, going around each of the
thousands of rivets with a razor blade. They did necessary body work,
mostly small dings, Then they primed the coach, put on the base coat,
laid out and painted the fancy stripes, and finally applied the clear
coat. It took two weeks total and we stayed in the coach except while
it was actually in the spray booth. Then we stayed in Enrique's house
at his insistence. Total cost was $5,000 U.S. They used R & M Diamint
paint, one of the premium paints available i the world - used on such
as BMW's and Caddy's for example. The wife also had them put in a
pearlizing additive at an added cost.

A friend had a similar job done for the same cost. He had received
estimates in the states that ran from $17,000 to $24,000. Needless to
say, we are both pleased and recommend them highly.

While there, we watched them turn out many cars, vans, and pickups on
a daily basis. It seems like a complete paint for a van was running
around $1,500.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have return several times
just to visit and have always been warmly received.

Regarding an estimate p we had stopped at the border on the US side
and walked across initially. Enrique drove us back and looked the
coach over and gave us a written estimate which he held to. Over the
phone, I would guess that his final estimate would be based upon
seeing the vehicle.

FWIW, while I was there, a lady? was complaining about a dash cover
they had made for her car a couple of years before. Sorroco told her
to bring it back and they would make it good. She had thrown it away.
He told her that they would make her a new one anyway to make her
happy. I was impressed with their customer service,

Hope this helps,

George

I have know Enrique for 30 years and they do a good job. I had them rebuild a 47 chevy convert. for me and it was awesome. I have thought about them doing my 40 foot bounder, but I am not sure I can make the turn out of Mexico to get through the border. I have heard both ways that for 15 or 20 dollars the Mexican guards may open the straight through gate for you. Does anyone know this for sure. thank, jim

[Bruce]

Since the post you responded to was 9 years old, I suspect that the
paint job has already been completed (or was ignored).

[Tom J]

I had a Ford truck painted there, but like the original post on this thread
it was many years ago. BTW, the paint was bought from the same supplier
that would have furnished the paint for the Ford dealer and the cost was 1/4
what the dealer wanted. The paint was still good when I sold the truck 10
years later.

An older brother had a Mexican friend who owned a paint shop in
Nuevo Laredo. He painted a Chevy pickup my brother owned and it
really looked good. Brother came to MN for the summer and parked
the pickup near a fence around a cow pasture while he did some
fishing.

When he returned the paint within reach of the cows had been
licked off down to the primer coat.

Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

[Lone Haranguer]

The paint was a light blue color...but this was several years ago
so you are probably safe.

While working for Kraft Foods in the summer of 1951 I had a metal
union button fall off my hat and go through the machine producing
dried milk. The company buying the dried milk was the company
producing Mars candy bars and several others. I didn't buy any
for several months.

[Tom J]

The best paint jobs at the time I had mine painted were done in Algodones
just SW of Yuma. Like I said in my other post, they used the same paint that
Ford would have used in Yuma. They were also repainting many motorhomes that
had the peeling paint at the time.

Typical snarky liberal stupidity from the resident twins. They probably are

don't come with Google. They come with Microsoft's browser. You have to

Real class!! Actually in the vernacular "Google it" means to run any
search engine. Google is a huge company with many products for
example.. Google maps, Google Earth, Google translate, Chrome and of
course the search engine and that is just a start.

And not that it matters much, but "Google" is an app (program) on my
smartnotafone, and can be downloaded if you don't already have it -
and updated - just like any other program, and I don't need Chrome or
any other browser to google something.

Give her a break, man. You just can't understand how shockingly

Don't expect any apology from Mensa Miller. He can't even get an attempted
negative moniker right. He calls me JohnGeorge expecting it to be insulting
to me. Two problems with that moniker. I have no idea who the hell "John"
is and second, unlike snowflake liberals like him, I don't allow myself to
be insulted. He certainly doesn't have the power to do it.

Since Chrome is a Google product, failing to recognize that is the

OMG, so he writes a nasty post in response to my post, just to be an
asshole. Then he says he was confused (I don't see his posts unless
someone quotes him) Clearly he was confused, but not too confused to
make an ad hominem attack on me, and now you are saying when someone
asks a question, and someone says "Google it" they are referring to
anything other than the search engine?

Good grief.

Why are you even in this conversation? It had nothing to do with you. It
was a jerk, taking a potshot at me, and you coming to his defense. He is
never on my radar because he's blocked, The original post had nothing to

sar·casm
ˈsärˌkazəm/noun

the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
"his voice, hardened by sarcasm, could not hide his resentment"
synonyms: derision, mockery, ridicule, scorn, sneering, scoffing...

But not "name calling" for goodness sake...that would be infantile...just some good old fashioned contempt!

Interesting to know you're ahead, isn't it? Although being ahead of the
twins is no great accomplishment.

[bill horne]

Not being an English major, I can't be sure, but I don't think that's
a proper application of nested quotes. It's none of my business, but I
think you should try to do better if you're interested in maintaining

[K Miller]

As the lying hypocrite might say - it's just sarcasm... HawHawHaw!

[vito]

Because the DOW is at 23,500, up from 16,000 just before the election,
and there has been a surge in building since the election.

Trump? Insults? Hey, he's from NYC. That's what NYC'rs do.

[George Anthony]

While the left are wasting their time on petty spats they have with
Trump, he is getting real work done. The DOW is up significantly.
Unemployment claims are down, manufacturing is up and the "deal maker"
has struck again. Boeing and Taiwan have just struck an $8 billion deal.
It's amazing to me how the liberals can't be honest enough to admit
Trump has accomplished more in less than a year than the Muslim-in-Chief
did in eight.

By the way, I have yet to have any liberal tell me what Trump has done
as president that indicates he is a racist, homophobe, misogynist, etc.
or anything impeachable. Mad Max Waters and the newly infamous Florida
cowboy rep are too ignorant of the law to understand that. These are the
kinds of people you libs elect... clowns. That doesn't speak well to
your levels of intelligence.
