Full body paint/ graphics

Just curious how much keystone charges (generally)for full body paint on a fifth wheel and what product lines have that option..

Also has anyone added graphics to their trailer or fifth wheel ? I’ve had numerous company trucks and boats I’ve owned that I have to add graphics to and they generally turn out good.... while my fifth wheel is new I would like to add some black accents if it could be done in a tasteful way and not look like a teeenager designed it.

My next fifth wheel will probably be a toy hauler because I like the idea of taking hard sided kayaks and bikes and a golf cart with us for the future.

Anyone with the full body paint have any issues?

I don’t know about keystone but back at 1 dealership I worked at sold Grand Designs and the solitude was available with full body paint for $10K. That was about 4 years ago.

Is the benefit of full body paint that the fiberglass is better sealed with paint and will have less issues?

That’s what I’m thinking and also I like the look of full body paint

No decals to fade/peel.

Yes but I will add that I have a cargo trailer with company graphics from 2005 and the decals look surprisingly good for the years, and I do almost zero maintenance on it. I’m just thinking of the future.. I love my current fifth wheel but the bikes and kayaks would be so much easier in a toy hauler.. I’m gonna keep mine a while and that’s why I thought of adding a few graphics along the same lines as the original graphics ..just to give it a little more contrast .. I have a lady that does all my trucks and boats and did the one in 2005 .. she is pretty reasonable and does nice work.. fine graphics with shadows and nice script... it doesn’t look blocky or generic

I wonder if anyone has had a full body wrap on one... if it ever faded you could remove it and should have a like new exterior underneath it
It’s not cheap but that eliminates having to wax I believe

I've got full body paint and love it. It's the reason we bought it.
The next one will be full body paint.
