OUR MISSION
With a history of a quarter of a century repairing and repainting RVs in Tucson, Artistic Elegance is one of the rare “Old School” RV shops in the city. We have mastered all the techniques used to repair bent metal and cracked fiberglass, and to repaint with perfect color-matching.
Our mission is very simple: we are dedicated craftsmen who love our art, RVs, and our community of RV fanatics. When your RV comes into our hands, it leaves our shop like nothing ever happened to it, even better than factory specifications.
OUR STORY
Kent’s grandfather started the tradition back in the 40’s. He worked at Coach Works, working on early motor homes and buses in Apache Junction, Arizona.
Flash forward and little Kent was 6-7 years old working with his father on body work projects in their back yard.
Kent moved from Kentucky to Tucson in 1983. He first worked at a body shop doing restorations of old muscle cars, high end Mercedes & Jaguars.
After 3 years, he left to become the head painter at Holmes Tuttle Ford. During his 10 years there, he strived to and achieved very high customer service ratings and won employee of the month countless times. His attention to detail even won him employee of the year.
In 1996 he set out on his own bringing with him a lifetime of experience. He has trained his staff not only his attention to detail, but in good work ethics as well. He’s now helped countess happy customers with their projects, and receives many customer referrals as a result.

OUR REVIEWS
OUR DIFFERENCE
AN “OLD SCHOOL” PRIDE
IN THE QUALITY OF OUR WORK
Maybe because I was educated in my craft by my grandfather, a man of integrity and principles, I have a lot of pride in the work my team does for you and other clients.
Artistic Elegance is not a big shop. It’s a craftsman’s RV repair shop. When we repair a cracked fiberglass bumper, we have to make it look better than factory.
When clients bring their RV for repaint, we aim at making them proud of their vehicle wherever they go.

check out the before and after of the front bumper of this beautiful newman dutchstar rv. the left shot shows the front bumper after it hit a tree stump.these stumps are very difficult to see, especially when the grounds around them are not tended: weeds hide them, and this kind of problem often happens when […]
That must have been scary… This beautiful Forest River Cherokee travel trailer had a tire blowout on the highway, and as you can see in the top photo, the sidewall metal and the lower wrap had suffered some substantial damage. We took down all the damaged metal, replaced it, then repainted it to perfect match. […]
This majestic Fleetwood RV is undergoing a major fiberglass repair on its backside cap. It got dinged pretty badly due to an unfortunate encounter with a big pole hiding out of sight. The fiberglass is cracked on a vertical line, and to repair it, we had to loosen the backside cap. You can see this […]
Wow! This beautiful Fleetwood RV came to our shop with significant damage inflicted to the rear cap by an unwelcome pole. The fiberglass is all craked up and needs serious repair. And when it is repaired, will need an outstanding paint job to match perfectly the original factory color and finish. That’s all under control […]
Take a look at this problem. The RV was backed up into a low, hidden pole. A very common problem of visibility. The result: badly cracked fiberglass and broken rear lights. But fear not! Artistic Elegance fully repaired the fiberglass, and repainted the back with an exact matching paint and finish. We also replaced the […]
This wonderful 2007 TIFFIN RV came to our shop with a large problem: a close encounter with a fuel island pipe bollard had taken out 6 of the 8 basement compartment doors… The rear fender skirt was also badly damaged. 2 weeks in our shop, and all damages have been repaired, and all the panels […]
Beautiful 2007 Tiffin RV. Came to the shop a couple days ago. Side-swiped a pole. As you can see, most of the right side of the RV is damaged. The rear fender skirt is badly hit too. We are taking down all aluminum doors and will rebuild the rear fender skirt. If your RV is […]
What you see here is a mobile medical unit. It a very large 5th wheel. It had come to our RV repair shop many years ago, and we had painted it in corporate colors, yellow and grey. Fast forward several years: the 5th wheel changes hands, and our shop is recommended to the new corporate […]
The 2019 Newman Ventana RV fully repaired, fresh off the paint booth (with the masking tape on). We repaired all body damages (lower doors and skirts), and repainted the RV to factory colors. It now looks as if the accident never happened! If your RV has suffered any damage due to unfortunate encounters with trees […]
2019 Newmar Ventana body work in progress to repair the damage caused to the lower doors and the rear fender skirt by a pole. On the pics, you can see we filled up the deep grooves that had been left by the pole swiping the doors. We are in the process of finishing the body […]
