New graphics and stripes

[JimMartin]

I removed all my old and cracked graphics last month. Bought some 12" rolls on vinyl from a sign shop and made some new ones. Not done yet but here's some pictures.

Nice work, really putting off trying to remove my decals and start anew,
I've heard many "horror stories" of the work involved to get those suckers off.

Old colors where blue, purple, and dark green. Replaced them with Copper, Gold, and black.

I used a 3M eraser wheel on my hand drill to remove the old faded and cracked decals. Most of the decals came off with the use of the eraser wheel, but the cracked ones didn’t came off that easy. Tried a heat gun but that didn’t work. Ended up using mineral sprites on them. After I removed all the old decals I scrubbed the entire RV with a green scrubby and some Bar Keepers cleanser (just like I was wet sanding it).

The old decal left marks on the RV so I just used those old lines as a pattern for my new graphics.

Once all the graphics were all on I compounded and waxed the entire RV with Maguire's wax and cleaner.

Ended up costing me a little over $300 total.
