Having learned to drive the long job by ear, I now have some crunched corners on my Country Coach and being older model, maybe need a full paint job.

I am mostly on the west coast.

Reccomendation for body/paint service?

"The Paint Dept" in Chino Ca. Ask for Dave. Paint is better than factory.

If you have a body shop in your area, check the phone book, that specializes in Corvettes, they are specialist in fiberglass repairs and can do an excellent job.

I also reccommend The Paint Department in Chino, California.

They treated me honestly, promptly and they did a good job.

They have electrical hookups and might let you stay there in your coach while the work is done.

another choice is a boat repair place. maybe not full paint but certainly they'll know water tight

Just crunched the left rear corner of my '03 Monaco Monarch. The rear cap will have to be replaced and along with some interior work the bill comes to $13,000.00.
Hope you have better luck with your repairs.
Only one place in St. George, UT to have the work done.

I cannot vouch for the quality, but you can look at their pictures under testimonials. They are in Sacramento.

Or I have toured this facility in West Sacramento (about 2 hrs from N Tahoe).

And, I have used this outfit to repaint my rear bumper with success:
