Topic: exterior painting / RPOD 2010 175 Posted: 25 May 2018 at 1:01pm |
2010-175 well finally got the "soft floor " fixed with sheet aluminum & 3/4" plywood and new floor covering ....now taking to the the painter today. Thinking of having it painted SILVER to match my tow vehicle a TOYOTA FJ Crusier and sometimes tow it with my Tacoma 4x4 white in color. I could not find much on repainting a pod on the web??anyone painted theirs??? Colors??? Cost etc???

I would think painting a pod would be very similar to painting a boat. Far from being a painting pro I'm thinking at the least your looking at after prep work (sanding and such) a color coat and then finish get coat and if I had to throw a number out I'd say at least $1000 plus. That will make you want to buy a compressor and paint gun and learn how to DIY. Hopefully others who have done this or much more knowledgeable then I will post a reply.

I'm not surprised Moose and thought my numbers would be on the low end. With all the work you've done on your Pod I say throw another $300 in and have them shoot color to match your TV.

I love our green RPod but I'm betting that you can't go wrong with silver if it's nicely done. It's a color that complements other colors well, including any color of TV.
