-I sprayed everything with HVLP paint guns
-I used Omni AE(acrylic enamel single stage) paint for the champagne color. 4 good coats and and this is the pictured result.
-I used nothing special rattle can gloss black(a buck a can) for everything black.(it works fine, as everything located in delicate areas recieved a heavy shot of clearcoat over it)
*Any raw aluminium was primed first.
-The red was an automotive base coat urethane I had left over from a custom job I did on a car many years ago.
-The lower 4 ft of the motor home, the entire front, and entire rear were clear coated with automotive urethane clear coat.
I am very surprised how well it came out considering this took many stages to do and was painted outside on our hot windy hill top.
All my seams for the siding, trims and windows were sealed really well using urethane windshield adhesive, then primed before painting.
-The stuff is flexible, but doesn't shrink and grips and seals very,very well. It comes in caulk tubes and can be used for many things. It is best known for the installation/gluing in of modern windshields to vehicles these days.
**I mixed a medium sized champagne flake with the Omni AE paint and added it to my clear coat as well. It is hard to get it to show in the pictures, because of the distance the pix are taken at.....But this MotorHome GLITTERS with sparkles in the sunlight.
