I saw those tall spray cans at HD was wondering about those perfect for big jobs like this. I would recommend a respirator when using spray cans. I once messed up my lungs painting POR-15 using a brush not even spraying it without a respirator had to use an inhaler for a month. I use one now on everything if I can smell paint, I use it. POR nasty stuff it is made like superglue it reacts to moisture I got a wiff of fumes couldn't stop coughing. House paint lacquer usually not a problem I still use one when spraying it out of a can. The RV came out looking really good.

I know I should have used a respirator. I usually do. I used Rustoleum hammered nickel brush on and that stuff was bad. I used a respirator when I applied it. Thanks for watching!

Rosie looks fabulous! You did a great job. I was horrified in the beginning when you said you were going to roll her. But, then the old Jaguars were painted by hand with a brush then sanded so why not roll it. I definitely wouldn't want to paint Rosie with a brush.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thanks. As I said in the video, I researched for over 2 years. I was impressed with the process. The tipping part didn't satisfy me, so I didn't end up doing that. But the prep & finish for rolling is a ton of steps. We are really happy with how it turned out.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Thank you. We used gloss black regular spray ( not wide spray) for handles & such & gloss white on gelcoat & engine door. I'll check that and correct that. Best of luck! Jamie didn't include the pox repairs, we didn't have many, but let us know if you need details on that.

Looks great! Did you roll and tip or just roll on the paint? We watched all the videos of the job, but we never saw you do any tipping!

[@RoamingWithRosie]

In the 3rd episode, at one minute in, I talked about the rolling and tipping they do on yachts, but then I said I tried that and I wasn't happy with it so came up with my own. I should have clarified "my own" meant no tipping. Sorry if that wasn't clear. So, only used a brush to get around smaller areas and edges. Thank you for hanging in there with us!

[@cbcpaulh]

Hi, aside from limited selection of color and cost, would you have considered using the turbo spray cans throughout the coach as oppose to rolling it? Also, did 5 coats of rolling really help with the depth of the paint? Would 3 coats do very similar as well? Lastly, when you used the turbo sprays, that was only 2 coats or was it 5? Thanks!

[@RoamingWithRosie]

Turbo spraying the upper half would have required a lot more masking and I would have to worry about overspray. The 5 coats made easy to sand out the imperfections without sanding through the paint. I sprayed 5 coats of the Turbo spray as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@PrevostNewbie]

Yes, the 48 hours is for the spray only. That’s listed on the label on the can.

Why didnt you do the spray cans for the entire rv?

[@RoamingWithRosie]

A couple of reasons. I don’t have a spray booth and the overspray. There would be a lot more masking if I were to spray the entire RV. Also the spray is more expensive. The rolling was easier to control the coverage.

Nice! Could you have just painted it and avoided the additional sanding? Thanks

[@RoamingWithRosie]

It’s hard to avoid sanding even in best situation. There is usually some wet sanding even with the best paint jobs. Thanks for watching!

[@mram7715]

@@RoamingWithRosie is it safe to say you are sanding the semi gloss from the paint then polishing it out? Thank you for the response

Why is there an acrylic grab handle mounted ahead of the rear duly wheels on the drivers side of the motorhome?

[@RoamingWithRosie]

It’s where the wet bay is (black and gray tank valves). It’s great for us older guys to grab onto when we have to get up after kneeling down to empty our tanks. Thanks for Watching!

Look pretty hard to see if somebody asked this. Maybe I missed it. What was the total hours of labor involved?

[@RoamingWithRosie]

No, we didn't keep track. It was done outdoors, so weather was a constant factor. Also, Jamie's on the north side of 60 yrs. Sometimes a day of rest and stretching were needed. The project was started in March & completed middle of June. It also will depend on what kind of repairs need to be made on yourrv exterior.

I just bought a 2008 CT COACHWORKS 40 ft with 5,163 miles (not typo) and 4 hours 7k onan generator. My exterior looks horrible, especially the graphics look exactly like yours did in the beginning so we are deciding what to do remove or sand, prime paint graphics different color as a recent retired SF medic I hate brown and green colors. But, kinda think all white looks like a celebrity tour bus and graphics make it more like a regular motorhome. Im thinking if I remove all graphics and then add grahics a shop would be multi thousands of dollars. So, i havent decided yet which is better.

[@RoamingWithRosie]

I like the all white. It reminds me of the Prevost motorhomes. If we decide to add any it would probably just be the name of our RV. If we do decide to add that I will paint that as well. No more decals, they just end up cracking and fading. Thanks for watching!

hmm, u didnt show the paint rolling! or did i miss that part?

[@RoamingWithRosie]

The video thumbnail where I’m standing on a ladder. That says Paint Your RV - DIY shows how I rolled it.

[@dustyharrell2110]

I didn’t her do anything

[@RoamingWithRosie]

No, this was something I had wanted to do. It’s a lot of work.

[@temirtaragay8932]

Very costly though. The time it took you to do and efforts cost at least $10$

[@RoamingWithRosie]

The entire thing only cost $1200. Not bad when you consider the alternative. Having a shop do it would have been $20k.
