As described under "Finishes and Finishing", I used a tough, sanded deck-over paint in OD green for the exterior of the wing assemblies. I really like the stuff. Almost one coat coverage, even over white primer.
In today's other post under "Galley and Greatroom", I showed one door receiving the same OD green paint on it's back surface. That's an access door to the left front wheel-well I'll be cutting yet in the camper box.
But with plans to open the paint can, I decided to do a little exterior work. The sub-boxes hadn't yet been finished. The construction of these were explained in detail throughout the "Structure and New Wood" thread, and they were further abused as various components were screwed to them from the inside. Where screws protruded, I ground their tips. Now I filled and sanded, then primed and painted.






I can see where I'll still want to hit that plumbing run with the OD spray paint used on the jack grids.
