School me on camper painting.

Had a little set back today and didn't get to prime it. Realized I have some more prep work todo. I've got to scrape all the old silicone off. Got one side done and part of the back. Also gonna change the color from blue to gray. Decided blue was just to much blue, we are going to go with a median dark gray instead, possibly with blue black and red pin stripes. I'll keep you guys posted.

Head down to California when you're done painting yours....I've got a Skamper that needs a makeover.

That's a little far now since I moved to Ohio. The travel and labor costs would kill you. Lol

 

[Wyocrawler]

Had some help today.

 

[Wyocrawler]

All clean and started sanding today. Should be done sanding tomorrow and have it masked off. Hope to shoot primer on Thursday.

Are you painting all the trim pieces as well? Im interested to see how the different materials hold the paint.

Can we get a group discount? I'd love to get the stripes and stickers off of my SunLite!

 

[Wyocrawler]

Sorry, no discounts. Not in this economy. Lol

More progress today. Finished sanding, wiped down, tack clothed, masked off and primed.

Looking good! Pretty Jealous! Keep it up. :Wow1:

 

[Wyocrawler]

Don't be jealous. You have a great looking rig! Just find a color you like and go for it. Honestly the hardest part was getting started, and all you guys have been a great help.

 

[Wyocrawler]

I didn't paint the the rubber trim, aluminum trim or black trim around the windows. I did paint all the steel trim that holds the siding.
I plan to wet sand it in the morning, wipe it down and tack cloth it then the paint. I can't wait!

 

[Wyocrawler]

Done painting. Turned out better than I thought it would.

 

[JasonRedwood]

Very nice! Did you use a roller or spray?

 

[Wyocrawler]

Spray cans. Primer and color both.
