Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have put a lot of effort into this rig and it is starting to show. For its age, it really is in pretty good shape.
I think I have decided against paying that much money for vinyl that will not last forever. I will probably be hanging on to this rv for a while considering the work that I am doing to it. I will either go with the above idea of just removing the vinyl on front and back, repaint the front black section and just leave it that way. Or option two would be to just paint the stripes on front and back and leave sides as is. The sides are not in terrible shape, but you can definitely see the cracks and age when you get up close.
I would like to remove all of the vinyl and paint the stripes on but that seems like a great deal of work for a rookie like myself. The red, white and blue stripes in the center of the gold panel section would be tedious to do. The others don't seem as bad, but I'm not certain that I could tape it off straight enough. I may test the waters on the front section since it is in the worst condition.
Again, I appreciate everyone's input. I have really enjoyed reading this forum since I have joined a few days ago. I will take more photos as work progresses and share it here.
Thanks!
