Front Cap Graphics
I have a 2018 321RSTS that I plan on getting the front cap repainted. I’d like to remove the front graphics so everything in painted smooth.
I contacted the dealer and they checked with Jayco on the price of new graphics for the front cap only and they were quoted 995.00. Holy crap!!! I’ve replaced graphics on a whole Montana for less than that.
Are there any other options or suppliers for front cap graphics. I may even go with something other than the Jayco logo.
Thanks

Based on my experience, I would skip it completely. My 2018 Eagle HT cap was re-sprayed twice under warranty. The dealership replaced the sticker 3 times. They also received but could not install a couple of other sticker sets that were not usable. The final/current set of stickers has lifted around the edges in several places already.
No stickers would be easier to maintain, anyway. I would rather have the consistent surface. And, Jayco doesn't pay me to provide them advertising on the road.

There are some past threads on "wrapping" which is another option.

I also am having a problem with the front fiberglass nose on my 2018, due to poor gel coating, and plan on having it painted. I got an estimate to paint it for $9,000 that I thought was way too much. if you don't mind, what would be a reasonable price range

Just got mine sanded down, repainted and clear coated and it cost me 2,000. I removed the graphics myself.

Agree with cricket, it should be 2000-3000 in most parts of the US.

I had the front cap of the Cyclone done and while this has been a few years ago it was $3200 or there abouts.

Wow! I guess our local body guy works WAY too cheap.
My buddy has a Cedar Creek with the same front cap issue. He took it to a local guy around here a couple years ago and he said he'd would do it for $800. Even if the rent doubled in the last 2 years that's $1600 and Forest River sent him the front graphics under warranty and cut him a check for the cost of the repairs.

Thanks for the info fellow Jayco owners. I will need to contact more body shops for a better quote. I will not replace the Jayco Bird graphics since it is free advertising and too expensive to replace. I've owned several fiberglass boats in the past and have never experienced the type of fading I've experienced with my 2018 Jayco in less than 3 years. This trailer is in covered storage when not in use and we only use it maybe 60 days a year. Jayco knew they had a problem yet refuses to fix their quality issue.

You can get graphics online with your choice of pictures. We have friends that had front and back done and they were very reasonable.
