Data Point;
LINE-X will add like 500 lbs" - False, We spray exteriors around 65mils on average. At that thickness you achieve the tough coating you want and don't add a significant amount of weight. Less than 90 lbs on average for a full size vehicle completely sprayed. About as much weight as your cooler stocked with "sodas" and ice.
Insightful information - Thank you. Of course I would not be spraying the roof or windows on the trailer so the surface area is just a percentage of the entire rig. Regardless, I see the weight calculations mentioned are at least somewhat of a consideration. Is the surface prep on a corrugated aluminum RV likely to make application cost prohibitive? I've started to remove decals (what a pain) but I'm inclined to pay a team of professionals just to get the exterior completely redone. Thanks for your input.
