Couple of items; I wanted to thank everyone who offered advice on my other topic about the Allison 3000...
So here is another one.
The decals and striping are peeling off of my motor home due to being out in the Texas sun for so long. The body is fiberglass that is in perfect shape and I plan on using a paint remover to strip them off and then buff the fiberglass smooth.
What I am trying to do is save thousands of dollars even thou I will need a professional to apply new decal and stripes...
So here are my questions.
Has anyone out there done this?
What kind of stripper/paint remover should I use that won't harm the fiberglass?
What king of solvent should I use for any residue from the stripper?
Last but not least, where and who would be a good source to apply decals and stripes? The fiberglass is white. I'm in Fort Worth, Texas.
Thanks,
I had this issue on my 5th wheel and was continuously peeling the decals off. I only peeled those that were coming up.
There are plenty of threads about this on different forums and even youtube videos explaining how to do it. I don't know if I'd use paint stripper although I've seen a youtube video using that method too.
