  • 19-yr young Marathon H3 (0851) Shines Like NEW

    Posted by Michael on July 10, 2023 at 7:36 pm

    Hired two of the best gentlemen in the business to maintain the shine on our 19-yr old Marathon……shines and turns heads every where it goes. If interested, drop me a note on here and I will connect you with them. If done right, this will last literally forever.

    Had mine repainted, 3 coats of clear, cut and buffed, the ceramic coated. Nothing better than a shiny coach.

    That’s right, shiny is best. Wife is still upset with me she didn’t get the X model for that reason, but we found a H in excellent condition that has “great bones.” That’s original paint on a 2004 Marathon H3……I had it cut and buffed and hen ceramic applied….whole process took about 5-days. Then, had it boosted about 8 months later, and had graphene added. Everything is easy to clean.

    Mind if I ask what it cost to repaint yours?

    I will jump in with a guess, but somewhere near or North of $25,000.

    I have heard that it is MUCH higher, so hence why I was asking. I would guess well north of $50K, if not $75K. Depending on whether it is a H or X.

    Also very curious on cost as I plan to get my 97 repainted in a couple years.

    All said and done, the cost was about 75k, Though, a portion was covered by insurance. We were caught in a Storm in the midwest that caused a lot of scratches from flying debris. The coach held up well in the 100+ mph straight winds. The awnings didn’t though. All had to be replaced.

    Sounds about right.
