Two questions: CCC on a 89, 36SP and Painting cabinets

[Gregory OConnor]

Troy,
Matt sounds like a nice person with a great young family and I think
he got good advice on the thread. I also learned that there is some
methods to repaint laminates and wise advice to just live with the
coach for some time before you change a thing.

Your issues with your purchase dissonance stand as tribute to the
superiority of the Bluebird product. My team analogy may hint to the
pride of brand loyalty and a bias in evaluating brands for Matt. If
you are going to Quartszite we can find a tree and determine a
winner. BUT I think a brand challenge thread would end up on
Wonderlodge_all and we would be reduced to angered RV'ers with the
same obsolete Detroit engines.

If it helps I saw the pics of your bus and it is very nice. Aluminum
is bringing good money nowadays.
