Faux Windows's October 01, 2015, 10:49:41 am Yahoo Message Number: 156106I want to repainted the black faux Windows on the front of my '91 27' coach. My questions are; what procedures, such as sanding, priming and painting did you do? What kind of paint, specifically should I use?
Re: Faux Windows's Reply #1 – October 01, 2015, 03:59:50 pm Yahoo Message Number: 156111Good question Dale.We have the same issue on our 2007 and would like to refurbish this area too. Perhaps direct information from the mfr would be best?Might be considered sacrilegious, but have you considered customized vinyl graphic decals as an option? One could get fairly creative with design as this is such a prominent area.John

And it is not on my DIY list either. I'd like for the factory to do that if I ever find my way to that part of the US.Ed & Margee Fort Worth

For what it's worth, I repainted my bumper a couple of years ago. I used Duplicolor bumper paint, available in black or gray. (I chose black.) Any auto-parts store should have it in stock, or you can buy it from Amazon.I used the whole can to apply four or five coats. Cost: $6.86 for the paint, plus a couple of bucks for the masking paper. Two years later, it still looks quite good.Andy Baird As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
