Paint Work on Our Dynasty
Last year I noticed that on our 2003 Monaco Dynasty there were a few spots on the left side (the one that is in the sun when parked at home) where the clearcoat was starting to peel. I had gotten a c...

Well that is one project that I am glad is DONE!!! Over the Easter weekend I was able to get the remaining two large sections of the coach painted and clear coated.
Here is the large mid section after I sanded, prepped and masked everything. The factory had installed the refrigerator trim ring and painted over it. I didn't like that as it had a paint bridge where the trim ring and the coach side. This paint bridge started to crack a few years ago and had some pieces of paint and clear coat come out and has bugged me ever since. I decided to paint the side of the coach and the trim ring separate and then install the trim ring and caulk afterwards for a cleaner looking job.
This is the only section where I had to blend the clear coat. It was a small, approx. 3" wide, area under the bedroom slide.
Areas where I sanded through sealed with PPG's DP48LF.
Here the gray stripe was painted.
Refrigerator trim ring.
The black and gray were masked off and now the sandstone was applied.
Colors unmasked and clear coat applied.
Clear coat blended in nicely.
Completely unmasked.
The area over the windshield was probably the worst. There was hardly any clear left. Here it is sanded down prior to masking.
Masked and sealed with more of PPG's DP48LF.
Gray and clear coat completed.
Next up is a good detailing.
