DIY Spray Painting Our New RV

[@HVASEA]

For someone who hasn't ever done this before....You did a fantastic job !!

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you QSSCEO, to be honest when I was doing it I was extremely nervous, I appreciate the compliment, thank you very much for commenting and nice to meet you

[@jasongreen6834]

It's people like you that give others the confidence to have a go. What a great job! I've just purchased a fibreglass pop up camper that needs some repairs. After seeing this, I'm going to have a go myself. Thank you sir.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you, but to be honest while I was doing it I was extremely nervous on how it would work out having never played with fiberglass before, but I figured what's the worst that can happen, I bet that when you're finished fixing up your pop up camper you will have the same end result, I truly thank you for commenting and also subscribing to the channel, good luck and we'll see you next time

[@boldrich7225]

Great job Brother. Us Men and Woman can do things on our own too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RVFieldTrip]

You got that right BoldRich7, and thank you

[@jasonclemente4392]

Im glad i humbled myself to watch this video. You just taught me to stack fiberglass. Judging based off this video, I would have messed up somehow. Thanks for making this video

[@RVFieldTrip]

I felt the same way when I started the project, but I also knew the worst case scenario would be to have a professional do it luckily it turned out great and still holding up to this day and we saved a tremendous amount of money, good luck with your project and let us know how it works out, we thank you very much for commenting

[@stephenbetts242]

You are welcome, it just gives people like me the confidence to tackle a job like that. It did also make me laugh when you commented on your OCD 🤣🤣. Have a nice day.

[@spurs3483]

Very nice job! I'm going to have to do something like that on our motorhome. Unfortunately, I can't blame this on a horse, unless I want to refer to myself as a horse. I really appreciate you posting your work. It will help me in my adventure.

[@RVFieldTrip]

I now declare you a horse LOL, if you take your time i think you'll be impressed with your results not only that the amount of money you're gonna save, let us know how it works out, we appreciate you commenting good luck and have a great day

[@Dronerangerspro]

Holy cow! That looks amazing, totally worth it.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Yeah it did turn out a lot better than I thought it would and it's still holding up to this day, we appreciate it and we appreciate you commenting

[@garyrayfield1803]

Thank you. My wife turned me into this as I have a very, very large area that will probably require some straps to pull it together. It's on the corner at the rear of the RV, where I hit a post with tail swing. It probably won't look as good as yours, but my wife is okay with my doing it to save an increase on insurance premiums because this would be on my Collison insurance.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Gary Rayfield, I didn't think mine would turn out as well as it did at least in my mind, but I bet you if you take your time and keep on looking for low areas building it back up it will look just as good don't get frustrated just take your time, good luck and I hope your wife is happy with the results you as well, we appreciate you watching and commenting, and we'll see you next time

[@stephenbetts242]

Wow, what a great job you did, you should be very proud of yourself. Well done. 👏

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you very much we appreciate it, and we thank you for commenting we hope you have a great day

[@grscott75]

Congrats to you and your bravery to try this! Like you say, the worst case scenario is you taking it to get professional work done. Well done!

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you Greg scott, I don't know if I would call it bravery or stupidity before I did it but I sure am glad it turned out the way it did it saved a tremendous amount of money, thank you for commenting and watching my friend

[@vdubing01]

Looks fantastic. Thank you

[@RVFieldTrip]

You are very welcome, make sure when you have them match your paint you haven't put a small spot on it to make sure it is a perfect match the first batch they made me was slightly off the second batch was perfect, again good luck and please let me know how it works out for you

[@lyndahendrix3728]

We needed to see this,we have a split in ours caused by an old fashioned air con gas,condenser unit was too heavy and rain got in and rotted the wood. causing the split on the outside,thanks from Australia

[@RVFieldTrip]

Good luck with your repair and let us know how it turns out, and we thank you very much for commenting

[@dueljet]

Looks great. Maybe next time have a little more PPE when using 2k clear coat. That stuff is really toxic.

[@RVFieldTrip]

You are 100% correct, I was just so nervous when applying it that I had totally forgot to put it on, thank you for looking out and thank you for your comment and again you are correct

[@StonnieDennis]

Great work!

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you Stonnie Dennis, and we appreciate you commenting

[@cristinacordero2661]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am about to tackle doing this to my bathroom wall in a Casita trailer after removing the vanity. Your video has encouraged me greatly!

[@RVFieldTrip]

Well thank you we appreciate your compliment, if you just take your time and don't get too nervous you'll be just fine, remember when putting on the fiberglass if you put a little bit more so you don't have to do it over again yes it'll be more sanding and more time but it works out really well and you only have to patch it once, we appreciate you commenting let us know how it works out and hopefully we'll talk to you next time good luck

[@MrPhillyCWA]

Thank you! I will be doing the same to my camper soon!

[@RVFieldTrip]

I think you'll be impressed with your work definitely impressed by the amount of money you'll save, let us know how it works out also thank you for commenting

[@campingforayearrenoheart5908]

Good job looks great

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you we appreciate it, and thank you very much for commenting

[@mikejewett4284]

Great job! I have similar size defect and your video has given me confidence I can do this. Thank you

[@RVFieldTrip]

To be honest with you I felt the same way you do I didn't know if I could do it or not but after watching several videos I said the same thing yes I can, I'm glad you got the confidence to try it yourself I mean what's the worst case scenario you'd have to get it professionally done, and the best case scenario you've saved a whole lot of money by doing it yourself, good luck take your time and thank you very much for commenting, let us know how it works out

[@KatrinaWilliams-jv7em]

Bravo!! Loved both videos and I think I am ready!! Thank you!

[@RVFieldTrip]

I agree you probably are ready, just remember to take your time and be picky about your work and it'll all workout, thank you very much for commenting and let us know how it works for you

[@lewchaney2138]

Great job.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you and we appreciate you commenting also have a great day

[@cloulee]

Wow this turned out so good! Great job!

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you cloulee, we appreciate you commenting I'm watching our video

[@debramclerrankron6320]

Good job!! Feel like traveling to Idaho… ? I need some body work done on this RV!! lol

[@RVFieldTrip]

Oh heck yeah we would love to go to Idaho but not to fix your RV LOL, but you can do it yourself and save a whole lot of money, we appreciate you commenting and we also appreciate your invite to Idaho, have a great day and stay safe out there

[@debramclerrankron6320]

But you made it look so easy, I think I’m gonna try it myself. I hope my outcome turns out as good as yours did! Wish me luck!!!

[@RVFieldTrip]

@@debramclerrankron6320 I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised on how well your turns out, just remember to take your time and to build the fiberglass higher so you don't have to add more it will create more sanding but what the heck it'll look good, Oh yeah good luck

[@jimmieelkins]

What a terrific job you did. I am doing a similar job on my Monaco and was wondering how to get spray paint matching my coach. That would make the job soo much easier.

[@RVFieldTrip]

First of all thank you for the compliment, what I did I took the small door off my RV and brought it to a paint shop not a household paint shop not an auto body but a auto paint shop and they were able to match it perfectly, I hope this helps you thank you for commenting hopefully we talk again, let me know how it goes

[@TheAverybanks]

Impressive thank you

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you once again, I hope your repairs go well, let us know how the repairs go, hope to hear from you again

[@clysack07]

Excellent video. I am getting ready to do this very thing.

[@RVFieldTrip]

You never know till you try but the end result was a lot better than I thought it would be, I know I saved a lot of money that's for sure, but I will not lie I was extremely nervous while doing the project, let me know how it works out for you I think you'll be pleased would the end result, also thank you for subscribing

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you joe herndon, good luck with your project

[@brunorios7223]

If it worked out then it was right way to do it

[@RVFieldTrip]

[@texaschick6153]

Fabulous

[@RVFieldTrip]

thank again Texas Chick

[@georgecole1311]

Very nice work, I need to do a little on my rv it’s a fifth wheel and up by the hitch. Thanks

[@RVFieldTrip]

George Cole, first I want to thank you for subscribing, thank you for the compliment, just keep in mind that it's not as hard as it seems, I know it's easy for me to say after the fact because before I started the project I was freaking out LOL, but you are gonna save a whole lot of money doing it yourself, good luck to you, and again thank you

[@yourrealtorchuck]

Turned out amazing! Still shocked at how you got rid of that paint line! Got to do mine, but unfortunately my fantastic story is I backed my pickup into my RV. Still mad... how did I not see an RV?

[@RVFieldTrip]

Chuck & Linda, I you got rid of that paint line by sanding buffing and a lot of handwork, [I backed my pickup into my RV] LOL I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing with you we have all done something like that, and yes we are also still mad at ourselves, but at least we can laugh about it now, I wanna thank you for commenting and a very warm welcome and thank you for subscribing

[@rss608]

I would have just bondo'ed it. need to clear the edges so you can get the bondo in the cracks. then spot putty and non filler primer. then paint.

[@RVFieldTrip]

We appreciate your input sounds like worked with it a few times, that was my first time but I did learn a little bit from it, we appreciate your suggestions and commenting

[@travish2127]

Excellent work! Glad I found your video, I just had a tree branch mishap on upper part of my back end. How much was the paint match and supplies?

[@RVFieldTrip]

You've gotta hate those tree branch mishaps LOL, The paint supplies was about $100, total supplies between fiberglass and paint and was no more than $200, good luck on your repair let me know how it turns out

[@travelingrvrv4608]

My friend would have put a sticker over this that said something like "Ouch" or something. You did a great job and look at the $$ you saved. I also would love to know what city you live in. Just for my information. It looks a little like Florida.

[@RVFieldTrip]

LOL I didn't think about putting a sticker over it, just think about how much more money I would have saved by getting a $1.00 sticker to put over the whole, yes I have friends like that too LOL, good eye yes I am in Florida Central Florida to be precise, again I thank you for the compliment I look forward to meeting you again TravelingRV RV

[@chrisplace3024]

Great job.but dont you need jell coat? Thanks

[@RVFieldTrip]

You may be right but I believe it turned out fantastic especially for someone who's never done it before, we thank you and also thank you for commenting

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

I think you did an amazing job on that diy! Not to mention the dough you saved by doing it yourself. I'm really impressed with how great it came out. Good job!! Now go take the little lady out for dinner with some of that cash you saved 😉

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you so much for the compliment, but to be very honest with you I was freaking out the whole time, thank God it turned out alright now Rose won't beat me LOL, that's a great idea I will take her out to dinner, I do appreciate you commenting thank you

[@babylonfive]

I'd just suggest that anyone else doing this sort of work *consider covering more of the rest of the motorhome with plastic* to avoid overspray! You didn't quite cover enough for me... 8 (

[@RVFieldTrip]

You're probably right, We thank you for your suggestion and thank you for commenting,

[@leslieobrien4690]

Very nice results, but I don’t understand how that would have been $2800.

[@RVFieldTrip]

I agree with you, That's exactly what I was saying, and I got two separate quotes, I couldn't get myself to pay that much that's why I did the repairs myself and if it didn't workout well then yes I would have had to pay the price, I'm so glad it worked out

[@jimswieringa7094]

You needed a resperator, that clear can go in your lungs as a vapoer and harden in your lungs. Many guys ahve died from that clear coat.

[@RVFieldTrip]

You are absolutely right jim swieringa, as a matter of fact I had one right there sitting waiting for me to use but I was so nervous about what I was about to start doing that I had totally forgot to put it on, thank God there was enough cross breeze that I then inhale any well not much at all, but it was stupid on my part, thank you for commenting we appreciate it
