Very late here to the party. Youre on the last side. I watch some youtube AutoDetailer videos and Citrol 266 is a great product to remove residues. Safe on clear coats and gel coats.
Friendly observation there are a lots of spots where regular cheap masking tape could safe a few bucks. I paint a lot too, but never an RV. Super impressive way to go!!
Frog tape is popular for painting homes where you need a crisp line. Many recommend removing tape immediately before paint dries. Might not be too easy when painting the side of an RV. Dont want the plastic rubbing onto fresh paint.
Have any tips to your spray rig? What size tip and pressure did you end up liking after all the experience you just got?
Thanks for the tips on materials.
The yellow 3M tape is great. No paint runs under the tape. It pulls free with our disturbing the paint and hardly no surface clean up for the next color. The blue vinyl tape is what I use on the corners. Watch me shake laying that down. GRIN The paint shop sold me some cheap masking paint that leaves a bunch of residue to clean up after. Another hard lesson learned. So far the blue 3M has not offered any problems when used for the paper.
I purchase a dash gun from the paint shop with a 1.0mm tip and a 5oz cup. I have been running 30 psi of air. I'm sure a pro could have set it up better but it works OK. Tomorrow I'm headed to HF to buy a 1.4mm tip gun with a 20oz cup. 10 bucks, what have I got to loose? The 5 oz cup is not enough to make a 65 ft pass on the sides.
