That looks great!

1. Is the paint wet in that pic, or is it really that glossy?

2. How many coats do you project?

3. What did you use to apply (roller, brush, gun)?

Yep - it's Really that Glossy. Even today - It's still Glossin' like it was wet

H-Balm wrote:2. How many coats do you project?

Only two - the first is a basic color coat - It'll have a light sanding before the final coat goes on

H-Balm wrote:3. What did you use to apply (roller, brush, gun)?

Just a regular foam roller

Nice paint. The Wife's grandfather used to work at the Oliver factory in Charles City, IA. Sadly, both he and the factory are no longer with us.

What an amazing few days it has been – gorgeous weather to work on the camper. I had a sign shop complete the exterior graphics for the camper. They were just too large for my printer. Got the second coat of paint applied and it’s curing out in the sun. I turned my attention to the wiring harness for the exterior lights . Got it all installed and looking right – then came for the test - back up the jeep – connect the 4 pin – hold breath . . . .and. . . running lights, Check – break lights , check, right turn signal check – left turn signal, Cr@p! No workey. :x

After much trouble shooting, it finally turned out to be the wiring adapter/ converted had failed. I called the Jeep dealership – they had one, $80.00 not including installation. Checked at e trailer.com. They had one for$ 48.00. Went to AutoZone and they had the replacement module for $13.00. I clipped out the old module and wired in the new. . . SUCCESS! :thumbsup:

Now I’m going to tease you folks for just a bit. I have the camper all trimmed out – Front Graphics are on. It looks sweet! I had to do some touch up paint on the rear – so I could not apply the rear graphics. In a matter of a few days – that too will happen and the pictures will flow :pictures: :pictures: :pictures: AND it will be finally finished
:P

sounds good can't wait to see it

where reality runs a razor thin seam between fact and possibility;

Scott,

Are the pictures coming before or after the unveiling at Beavers Bend? :thinking: (Selfishly, I say wait until after.)

Take care,
