Exterior Painting of Motorhome
This is going to generate a lively discussion I imagine. My Class "A" motor home is looking pretty sad. As it's 24 years old, it's not bad, but the paint is faded, scuffed, scratched, etc. I won...

I recently painted my 1994 Coachmen MH. Although it only has paint on the lower 2'. After painting it, I Zep waxed the rest, and it looks like new. The only thing left to do is work on the cracked striping. It is 32' long and it took a half gallon of paint. I used PPG acrylic enamel with a hardner. It cost a little over $100. I sprayed it with an HVLP spray gun I got at HF and I did it outside, as I have no indoor space large enough. The paint dried in a few minutes and I am happy with the result. I spent 2 days prepping it and it took about 2 hours to paint it. I took all of the latches off the cargo doors (18 total latches) and masked a couple of feet above the paint, the tires and lights. I posted a picture on IRV2 under new rig showoff; I don't see an easy way to attach pictures here.
