Thanks, check out the playlist. That will give you a better idea of what you will be taking on. I’m really happy with the results and if I need to fix anything on the paint I’ll know how. Thanks for watching!
OMGosh you guys!!! Holy you know what! Rosie Too looks amazing. Thanks for taking us along on this project! We don’t have our RV yet, but we’re having fun learning from all your projects and travels! Much love from SOFLO! XOXOXO!!
Thanks for sharing. My wife and I are going to be painting our motorhome and taking all the information we can choose the best way to go about it doing this are selves.
What an incredible project! Jamie, you are quite talented! Amazing your arms, haven’t fallen off with all the buffing and sanding and rolling! Really great video, especially about explaining the cost differential. Inside and out, your RV looks almost new, thanks to all the hard work you’ve invested in it! Well done!
❤❤❤❤ so fun to watch. I have an old RV to. I started looking at ways to paint and yours was the first one i found. You have given me lots of courage and help. Thanks for paving the way. Happy camping.😅
PPG Omni automotive paint with all the Omni components is so easy to do and only sand once before painting. If its hot get the extra slow reducer to let it flow out. Practice on something to set the gun and it would have been a long weekend, not three months. If you're smart enough to do the job you did, I'm positive you could manage using automotive paint and get it done once and walk away. If I can learn to do it anyone can. Enjoyed watching anyway, Thanks . DS
Thanks for the feedback - what kind of sprayer did you use and secondly will the Omni stick to the Rustoleum once sanded? I take it that the Omni is not a single stage paint and would need to hit with clear coat.
It looks fantastic! I need to do just an area above my front windshield where the clearcoat has started to peel, thanks to the Arizona sun. I'll sand it first to get rid of clearcoat edges that are peeling. I'll probably use the factory paint & clearcoat kit, since it's not that big of an area. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for your well explained process and showing your successful job. I can't find the amount of tape, and material specially how many gallons of the white paint to apply with the roll, type of roll used, how many etc, will you please tell me if you can share the list and amounts you use to finish the job.???
Here you go. I Hope it gives you what you need. FREE Spreadsheet of SUPPLY LIST With Prices & Links: tinyurl.com/mvejmuh9 If you need more info, please email us at Roamingwithrosie@hotmail.com
Looks amazing! We have an older rig, and I'm thinking of taking it on. It has some delamination in one spot, so a repair is needed. Thanks again, and stay safe 😊
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.
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.
Ok...THAT was impressive to watch. Huge thanks to you both for sharing all these insights. Quite a gift to the nomad community. This has left me a bit sober about the magnitude of the task you undertook. So I am curious....did you consider using a wrap instead of painting?
@@RoamingWithRosie As I research wrapping it seems that one can expect a pretty short lifespan. Perhaps five years. I'd expect all your hard work will continue to look pretty gorgeous for many more years than that.
I have been so impressed with your work, and will likely take on this project with our 2006 Alfa. I downloaded your spreadsheet and I believe there is an error for the RUSTOLEUM PROFESSIONAL ENAMEL as it brings up a gray spray paint.
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.
@RoamingWithRosie I have time, he has muscles!! What we also have while gate guarding in New Mexico this time of years is wind. And SAND!! And no wind breaks. Soooo we may have to wait until September lol. But I think we can get a lot of prep work done.
I just printed your supply list and am not sure what you used the Rustoleum Gloss Black, Satin Black Pro Enamel, Gloss Black Spray Paint and Clear Gloss Spray Paint on. I watched your videos and I didn't notice you mention any of these during the process. Thank you so much for the videos, they are very helpful.
I used the gloss black spray paint on the mirrors and the grab bars. The Satin Black was for the storage latches. I used clear on top of the black on the latches and other scare light bezels. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Love the job you did ! How Does the finish look like up close? We have a 97 triple e commander and are making a plan to paint her . I like the steps you took to paint Rosie and will probably follow your process if I can get the same paint . 👍👍on the video.
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.
@RoamingWithRosie You guys are probably on the road, we just got back from the beaches, now we are ready for some high elevation. Way to hot in Vegas... we are looking at 110 plus.😳😳😳
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.
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!
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!
Great job! Question: you mentioned that you were going to wet sand at some point in one of your videos. But then never mentioned it again. Did you wet sand?
I actually found some special sanding disks that allowed me to dry sand it with a orbital sander. That saved a lot of time and elbow grease. Thanks for watching!
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!
Do you know if repainting will seal to protect from future pox? Did you have any areas of Alfa pox? Also in a previous video you stated 48 hours between coats. That dry time must be for the spray only?
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.
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!
That was not my intention. I did want to show the process and not sugar coat it. It is a big job even if you had all the spray equipment and a spray booth. Thanks for watching!
@@RoamingWithRosie it looks like a lot of work but I might attempt it for my old RV. I had a school bus conversion and I use the tractor paint for it. I did not get his elaborate but you know what metal and I didn't need to. It still looks great in the end I was just concerned about the fiberglass. The recap video was good. One last inquiry, before I dig through all your videos. Did you have to use a special bonding primer?
I was one of the people that originally commented when you took the stickers off and I have to say the amount of work you’ve done is absolutely amazing. I do hope you decide to add some other graphics to the new Rosi. Although it came out beautiful, it is a little plane, but when you show the videos of the alpha convention, I guess that’s how they all sort of a walk. You are one amazing patience t soul And Rosie looks beautiful!
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!
Rustoleum has black in the gallon containers and in the turbo spray cans. The only thing with black is that it will show any imperfections more. Thanks for watching!
My wife n I bought a 03 Holiday Rambler 40ft. We remodeled her n put 35k in fixing her. N FRESH RAP . SHE LOOKS BRAND NEW 😍 getting ready for NOVEMBER TRAVELS, SINCE WE R CANADIAN 😎✌️
Our first rig was a Holiday Rambler Ambassador 36ft. We completely remodelled the interior. They make a nice motorhome. Safe Travels, thanks for watching!
Beautiful job! I bought a 2008 Thor Chateau Sport 29R 3 years ago. Renovated the inside and have removed all of the decals on the outside that were worn and cracked really showing her age. Have thought about painting the rig but had no idea where to start. Thanks for your videos, will watch a few times and get to work when the weather allows (here in Georgia).
Mad skills Dude! Your attention to detail and your commitment is stellar! Until I retire though I'm afraid my 30-year-old Fortravel Grand Villa will have to wait for a new paint job. It was fun to watch the transformation, I look forward to perusing through more of your videos. Happy trails, stay safe on the road.
I painted my 28’ Bigfoot after watching your video. What a chore! You made it look easy. Finally finished and I’m proud of the way it turned out but I never anticipated how much time and effort would be required. I respect your commitment and could not have done it without your help. 14:44 Thank you so much.
I’m so glad it was helpful! It was a lot of work and like you I am proud of how it came out. It’s really satisfying when people asked who painted my RV and they say how great it looks. I would really like to see it. Could you email some pictures? Our email is Roamingwithrosie@hotmail.com. Thank you so much for watching!
Recently my wife and I purchased a 2006 class C .Top half is a little dull decals are ok so I plan on buffing to see where we are at,before I take any large painting project on. Yours looks beautiful hats of for a super job.
Hopefully you can buff it out and it will look good. I would have gone that route if I could have. Still very happy with the paint job. Thanks for watching!
From what we can see in the video, you did a great job. Agree some color body stripes done well would really add to the coaches' overall appearance! I've been seeing more people using that paint for a wide range of projects. Congratulations! All your hard work payed off! 😊
Thank you, I know it’s not the preferred method of painting a RV. I was determined to do the best job I could with the equipment and knowledge that I had.
