CDI LLC

CDI LLC is a custom paint shop based in Forest City, Iowa, and it specializes in RVs and campers. It is a fixed shop, so you bring the RV to its painting facility rather than having a tech come to your campground or driveway. The shop names Forest City and Charles City, Iowa as its service area and does not state a wider radius.

It offers full body paint with personalized custom design, cosmetic repair and paint correction, and it is "Skilled in paint protection films." It works on Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers and cargo trailers. CDI describes itself as "45+ years of custom paint & design in the American Heartland," and it posts a video tour of its 100,000 square foot RV painting facility, so you can see the process before you commit.

CDI does not publish prices, hourly rates, a trip fee or hours. Ask for an estimate, whether any trip fee applies, and the shop's hours when you call, and ask how the scheduling works for your dates. The shop offers "Flexible scheduling & fast turn around time," which is worth confirming in writing before you drive out.

CDI does not state a license, an insurance statement or a warranty. For a repaint, where your rig sits in someone else's shop for days or weeks, ask for proof of insurance and the warranty terms before you leave it. Julie and Jason lead the plant tour, and Ron and Deb are named in reviews. Google rates CDI 4.7 stars from 99 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner in Iowa or the Charles City area who wants a full repaint or cosmetic work and can leave the rig at the facility for the job. It is not a fit for a traveler who needs a repair on the road this week.
