you could say Trev all 650 drones it was superbA flashy night out then.
Are you planning to do the whole body or just specific areas?All the rear lights and fog lights renewed. Just have to respray the paintwork.
Just gun metal to the bumper and side skirts as it was .Are you planning to do the whole body or just specific areas?
A forum member - fijit - painted his Autotrail Motorhome and used the roller method. Painted it a darkish green colour, so very from the original factory look.
I saw it in Stratford a couple of years ago and thought it looked brilliant
That would be interesting to see.Just gun metal to the bumper and side skirts as it was .
But we’re considering spraying the whole thing if we can decide on what base colour to spay it.
And we’re have to do one side at a time..
Still looking at the new Moho colours.
Crazing is usually caused by impact.That would be interesting to see.
I have some crazing on one side on the skirting gel coat and will probably repaint after fixing it.
Acid etch 2 pack or epoxy will surfise, many a boat we did.Crazing is usually caused by impact.
But after fixing the problem the bare GRP must be sprayed with a plastic sealer before any further coats of spray.
So plastic sealer then the primer undercoat then top coats .
Plastic and GRP both need the same treatment Glass Reinforced Plastic .
Mine isn't from any impacts. I know what is needed to fix it, but once done, the colour will not match and painting needed.Crazing is usually caused by impact.

I used to spray cars and motorhomes, not full time but I was properly trained. My ever-so-umble opinion having owned many many vehicles is that a light gold colour is best, such as you can get on new Ducatos. It never shows the dirt, once a year you polish it, stand back and say to yourself 'it doesn't look any different'. Also it hides in amongst trees pretty well, it doesn't shout "I'm a camper parked up for a bit".Just gun metal to the bumper and side skirts as it was .

My first Company Car was an Austin Ambassador in metallic gold..... It was just as you say ... never showed the dirt (unless you went through some really filthy mud splashes).I used to spray cars and motorhomes, not full time but I was properly trained.

It may be that I've been wrong all my life Trev, but the cars I've found easiest to keep clean (with minimal effort) were the white cars. I usually found black cars a pig to keep clean.A plain gray is best, met paints are a barstewart to blow in, Henry ford had it right, any colour you want as long as its black.
