window frames

[sally brustowicz]

The coach is a 1993 WL WB PT.

We recently bought it.. What you said is what I was thinking of doing.

Sanding and paining them with enamel paint.. The window big on the drivers side only has a small area. The window frame on the inside of the door is the worst one. I will try to remove

the wood.. I was thinking of sanding and painting the larger window frame with it in place if possible. Then use an enamel paint after masking it off. We are previous boaters, so I'm used to doing things like this.

Thanks for your help. We are new to the forum and BB..

It is not the windows themselves I believe she refers to. There is a wooden frame aroung the door and driver's window sets that get moisture through the glass and need to be painted from time to time. If you have a skylight, you might have the same problem if you do not re-seal them from the outside from time to time (guess what? Mine leaked at the Q this week and I know I hould have performed preventive maintainance sooner).



You might want to rmove them so you can sand then down without damage to walls aroud them. A good primer and enamel spray paint works well.



What is you coach year and model?

All the finishes I have seen on the outside of the window frame have been an anodized finish. The fact that you mentioned that something was peeling makes me think that someone may have painted those frames. Anodizing doesn't peel as far as I know. Anodizing is an oxidizing process that forms a layer of "rust" on the surface. It's possible that the anodizing is wearing off but this doesn't occur as peeling so far as I know. There is a rubber seal that goes around the window. I doubt if that is peeling.
