Diamond Shield

<< < (3/3)

Doug Allman:
Larry,
The $1695 was only for the application. Did not include the removal and paint ready for the new which I understand can now get upwards of $3000.00 very easily as it is very difficult to remove.

We own a foam and coatings business and I am having several technical discussions with my suppliers this morning in regard to can I apply a polyurea coating (like bedliner) over the old 3M shield as it is securely attached and then paint and clear coat same. I want to do some small graphics to simulate other graphics on coach as I have never liked the plain front face.

We have two types of coatings, one will deaden sound (bed liner type) and other will not as it is like a ceramic when cured (used in food grade environments). They both have a 600% elasticity and I will use whichever we can paint over as I do not want to degrade the looks of the coach. Both will take a relatively high impact without damage.

I am going to coat the roof next week with a bedliner type white coating.

I am estimating for materials we would have $500.00 for coating and paint involved for the whole front cap. Labor I will know after we get finished but I imagine there will be approx 4 hours for prepping and spraying the coating. Paint & clear coats another 6 hours. Overall no where near the cost of removal and new shield, but may still put shield over because after 84,000 miles on coach there is no damage to front paint.

Doug you may want to give Roy Warren a call they did a wonderful job on his rig two years ago. He may be able to give you more info.
