Added LED lighting. Stripped the failing white paint from the aluminum bumper and steps. Researching how to recoat. Love the LED tube lights. Rewired the fixtures bypassing the ballast. Went with m4 and natural white. like it alot. All inside lighting is now LED and the outside porch lights too. I do not see any loss in illumination.
The paint was a pain to remove. Its as if Lance did not etch the aluminum before the originally painted it. So consequently the rubber that was glued to it came up.
Had the same issue with the Lance I sold. I used Zinzer stripper to pull the old paint off (safe on aluminum) and then washed it real well with strong derergent and my pressure washer, let it dry amd mist coated it with zinc chromate primer and top coated it with Rustoleum gloss white. Mine was coming off in strips as well. Very poor prep on the part of Lance.
