Painting where clearcoat has peeled
Don, Good looking bus. Do you have a closer picture of the finished paint job,
as a little further out than the first pic., but closer than the last finished pic. I have some of the same paint problems, along with some peeling. Am looking for a (quick and cheep), way to get it to hold until next year. Have to many other issures to deal with at present. BTY, were you ever in the USAF?

I'm not likely to spring for a full paint job, so my choices were to do nothing, or attempt some spot repair. The back cap was the worst, depending on angle and lighting. I tried some test spots of fresh clear-coat, but the colors did not match, so I decided to paint. Over the past couple of days, because we had good weather for it, I did the largest area which is blue. Clearcoat was removed with plastic scraper and 220-grit sandpaper, then everything was sanded with 400-grit. I used Dupont Nason 2K Ful-Thane urethane, which does not need a clearcoat. Saves a lot of work and about half the cost. The results are not professional, but more than adequate especially for an area 11 feet off the ground where nobody is going to be looking at it closely. I've put up a page with before/during/after pictures at http://www.arcatapet.net/travel/painting.cfm I probably won't get to the rest of the blue, or the red and gold portions, until sometime this summer.
