A before and after picture of my 84 Camper.

[zombieman]

Wondered across a picture of my 1984 Leisure Craft Camper the day I bought it. Just finished installing all my new marker lights, painting the stripes, frame etc. Tearing out floor and redoing, Laying tile, recovering cousins, Painting entire interior, Installing 26inch TV, Microwave, 4.5 CF fridge. Got a lot of time invested but the thing is looking great. I'll post more pictures once I'm 100% done.

I'm interested as well.

Its still faded, but looks a lot better than it did. I pressure washed it first obviously. I then took a solution of bleach and water and just dipped a long carwash brush in the solution and scrubbed the entire camper down. During this process I saw a lot of old paint coming off and had to be cautious of just how much was actually going to be left on. I would wash a section and quickly rinse it off really good with the hose. There was two places on the very front of the camper on each side of the window shield that stripped down slightly to the bear metal. Not sure why this area did that but wasn't a big deal to me since I found a Rustoleum paint in Satin that matches perfect. Now I did repaint all the stripes too. As for the entire finish on my camper from before to after has went from Maybe a Flat or a eggshell to a satin finish.
