We have also received compliments of our nearly 7 yr. old coach as I keep it shiny and clean. About 2 yrs. ago I parked next to a guy and he thought that I was delivering a new coach to somebody (I didn't know I looked like a delivery guy). When I told him our coach was 5 yrs. old (at the time) he couldn't believe it.
We are in the middle of painting a new coach and I have looked at designs until my eyes crossed. Each coach from our manufacturer that we are buying from designs the paint for each owner so no two are alike.
I appears that swirls are on there way out and designs are getting a little more stream-lined. Heavy swirls have been around for at least 12 yrs. Also, I can see the appeal of a solid color but we wanted a little design in the paint. Shadowing in the paint is the new thing now, some will like it, some will not. I didn't like it at first, but now, I really like it and that's what is going to be incorporated into our paint scheme.
Bshpilot, I see that you are a little sensitive about your solid white coach. You don't see many solid white so yours is unique. But, I'm curious, do you have a clear coat or something to protect the fiberglass?
Safe travels,
MM.
