Paint & Clear front cap
I am considering painting and clear coating front cap. Has anyone out in the forum done this? I have a 2011 Carriage Cameo F36FWS. I don't know if I should just clear coat over existing high gloss fib...

I would not remove the front cap to repaint it. What guarantee it won't leak after replacement? If he has to rent a booth to paint a cap maybe he doesn't paint very often and I would be suspect.
He does work all the time for Northwwod MFG. When I called him he was in the process of replacing a front cap on an Arctic Fox 5th wheel. I asked him why his price seemed lower than what I'd read from others being quoted on the net and his answer was his shop rate is lower per what a dealer might charge. He's done other work on my 5th wheel while under warranty since my buying dealer is 300 miles away. His shop is the shop that Northwood Mfg authorizes to do warranty work for those that don't have a dealer close buy. Personally I have more confidence is his ability to re-caulk the cap than the sloppy job Northwood did. It will also be a good chance to inspect the front and more than likely add some more insulation.
