Repainting a DX3

I have a 2014 DX3 RB that Ive added several upgrades and really like except for one issue; the color. It’s black with various shades of silver. Looks good until 15 minutes after I’ve cleaned it. Also the black is too hot for the part of the country I live in.
Is it possible for me to get a factory repaint in the beige/ red scheme I’ve seen on some of the new ones and what is the approximate cost?

Probably can be done. Big money I don’t think the factory will do it

I looked into having our old Class A repainted a few years ago.. In the range of 10-15 thousand.. And that was pretty basic paint job..

How about painting over the black with a different color and not repainting the entire coach?

You can't unless you want it to look at you took it to Maaco. Today's paint is basecoat/clearcoat. If you base the black area, you will have to clear pretty well the entire coach so you don't have a hard line. The ONLY way to get around that is you basecoat/clearcoat the black area, sand the clear edge down and put a vinyl stripe over it, otherwise it will look like crap.

You'll spend 20-30K EASY on a paintjob for a DX3.
