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. ------------- Dave & Marlene J with Zoey the wonder dog. 2017 Rpod 180 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Lexington, NC |

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. ------------- 2017 R-Pod 179 HRE (the green one) His:Ford F150 double cab 4WD; Hers/mine:Tacoma V6 double cab 4WD Still love rugged, diggin' comfy too |
