Here is a picture of our 73'. I did all the prep work so it's not perfect but I like it.

That one takes the prize!

Quite fond of my new Argosy painted by previous owner.

[Stefrobrts]

I love all these sharp looking Argosys!

What would the cost be to repainted a 30' Agrosy, looking for a high end cost range.

Thanks

Fits right in.... Click on the image to see it in a bit larger size.

We are in Tennessee and I am trying to find a place to have our painted but am not having any luck. What sort of place did you get it painted at? I tried an auto painting place that has a good reputation here but they can't fit it. I tried an Airstream repair place in Louisville, but they don't paint exteriors since they usually work with the unpainted aluminum. Ours was painted solid white back on 2007 and not looking so fresh. We would like to change the color too.

I took mine to a shop that paints semi-trucks. They not only have large bays but also understand the process for painting aluminum. There are pictures in my profile as well as the thread called 'cost of Argosy paint job'

I found a local airport who paints aluminum airplanes. Airplanes also have rivets. It wasn't cheap, but these guys know rivets and aluminum.

I keep forgetting to post our new paint job. We got it done last winter and couldn't be happier. The white matches the platinum white on my 2012 Ford F150 Lariat and the bottom adobe beige matches my 4X4 lettering. I know that's a bit of a stretch, but hey. The people who did the work, paint trucks and had large inside bays to do the painting and prep work.

By all means not perfect. But not bad for a backyard DIY. It's raining today...I had to put tape over all the windows, holes, lights, and joints. I still need to apply caulking.

[crunch27]

Hey 909, good job. I like it.

[Cochese]

Looks great

Not mine but I like it

Anyone up to posting their favorite paint job?

We bought this in 2016, fixed the floor in a couple of weeks and pulled it from DC to the Washington state, sea to shining sea. When we first got it we planned on stripping it. After 5000 miles , the monkey grows on you.

What was the cost of the new paint job, thinking of doing the same to my 1976.
