Slide side stripes!!

So anyone ever notice how the "expensive DP's" have the ends of the slideouts painted to match the rest of the body?

It's always looked "incomplete" to me that my Knight has this killer 4 color paint job, but the ends of the slides are just plain silver...

Last weekend, I had Phat Bro's Inc, Oswego, IL fix it up for me. Marco and Juan Perez did a fabulous job, They used the vinyl stuff used for full wraps and outdoor signs, matched the colors perfectly, and for $650, my coach looks like it cost 3 times what it did!

Seriously tho, I like the look a lot. Mucho more finished.
And the price was right too.

  • Thanks Don.
    I like it a lot. Wife thinks I'm crazy...lol.
    Bet your new coach has the slide ends painted?
  • Jim, looks good, never thought about using vinyl. My brother-in-law and sister always gave me grief because my Diplomat didn't have the stripes, yet their Itasca Meridian did. Luckily, it was the only feature their coach had that mine didn't.
  • I pointed out that exact feature of high end rigs. If our next rig has slides, I'll be painting them to match the sides. She already told me.
