Painting stripes on motor home or replace decals?

I have a detail guy that does vinyl decals he is very reasonable give him a call, Joey 805 404 2838.

This should probably be moved to the Mexico forum.

If I had the time I'd be planning a trip south and get the whole coach done.

I only replaced the black decals with paint a few years ago. Did the work myself using spray can enamel. The lighter color decals are holding up well going into year 10.

The coach is out in the weather 24/7 facing south east so driver's side gets morning sun and the passenger side gets evening. Long story short the paint is fading at different rates based on the fiberglass base. Hit up a local Sherwin-Williams auto paint store for high quality paint and slowly repainting the stripes. A quart of single stage paint (no second coat of clear required) ran a bit over $100. Reasonable quality paint gun $50 and probably another $30 for tape, paper to mask and other stuff.

Hardest part is I need near perfect weather conditions for a driveway paint day. Low winds, reasonable humidity and 24 hours no rain so the rework is dragging a bit.

Image is dated Sept 2014 and has gotten worse since. Notice how the paint color is different on different surfaces. Front, slide, door and such.

I can't speak for Mexico, but I can assure you paint will last a heck of a lot longer than vinyl.

If it fits your budget I'd get it painted. Looks better longer and a lot easier to care for.

Dale,
You don't need good weather as you described, you need a garage! :B
