Faded front cap

Has anyone ever repainted their front cap themselves? I cannot afford $ 2000.00 to have the rv dealer do it. I also wonder if a plain wrap would be cost affective?
  • Bob, have you decided on a color? I have a buddy who caught something on the lower part of the front cap of his TT which was replaced. The new one needed
    Singed so he spent a little extra and had it done in a two tone with one color matching his truck color. Your front cap would look nice matching your truck.

    I was thinking that but it is fiberglass and I do not want it to look worse than it does already....


    A little patience and a quart of acrylic enamel and a good spray gun and compressor and you could do it. the devil is in the masking and if you do it outside, be sure there is no wind or you might have neighbor issues.

  • I Have no idea of what a wrap would cost or its durability but I sure would not be taking the unit to a RV dealer. There are paint shops all over capable of painting all types of material.
