Nice work Mike - looks GREAT.
I'm with you on the self taught part too. I've had exactly 0 hours of formal training. My thought is someone did it before me so why not. Then again I also ask a lot of questions before I get in too deep. :B

DAMN! I am envious of people who can whip out a job that good. Is your background spray painting?

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate that.
By the way, how goes the new coach search? I haven't seen anything for a bit. Kinda envious here.;)
Mike.
Mike, the search is complete. Ordered a Liberty Coach. Going to the factory mid-May to pick out the interior and paint scheme. It should be ready early November.
Are you, by chance, itch'n for a newer Dynasty? ๐

That really turned out looking good so did you use a airless sprayer to paint it?

Last year I noticed that on our 2003 Monaco Dynasty there were a few spots on the left side (the one that is in the sun when parked at home) where the clearcoat was starting to peel. I had gotten a couple of bids to have the coach painted and we eventually will but for now I opted to try to buy us a year or two by repairing the areas. The right side of the coach looks like it just rolled out of the factory so if I can get the left side where I am happy with it then we can postpone having the entire coach painted for a couple of years. If the right side were just as bad as the spots on the left side we probably would have gotten it painted over the winter. I would love to paint it myself but just don't have anywhere to do it and outside is too unpredictable as far as weather goes plus I don't want to shower the neighborhood with that much overspray. The few spots that I am repairing do not produce much overspray and I am doing each section seperate.
Here are a couple of pictures of the clearcoat peeling.
Removing the caulking that seals between the fiberglass side and the aluminum trim around the bedroom slide. This will ensure the paint and clear get into the corner completely. I will re-caulk them with Geocel 2300 afterwards.
Sanding and feathering the lifted edges of the clearcoat.
Bedroom slide masked, areas where I sanded through the base color sealed and ready to paint.
Bedroom slide completed.
More pictures to follow.
Mike.
