weathered graphics

[gap430]

I am on my third rv and have found issues with weather faded and cracking graphics. My unit is a 2004 and the original graphics are no longer made. The walls are in good shape and the finish is smooth. I am just considering air brushing over the old graphics. Any thoughts or ideas. Thanks

The cheapest/easiest fix is go to HD/lowes and pick out some rattle can colors you like, a roll of 18” masking paper and some tape. Tape off and mask the existing decals scuff them a bit wipe clean and rattle can whatever colors you like. With an 18 yr old coach, if you take the decals off the outlines are still going to be visible and a pain to get rid of without heavy sanding, priming and painting.

100% agree! I have done this and the results were remarkable. Take time to mask it carefully, and use some of that good blue tape so your paint doesn't blead under the tape.

Fairly inexpensive as well. Just a couple days of your time.
