AC covers and dome painted and installed. There was no difference to the satellite reception (maybe slight improvement, but we cleaned the dish and LNB wile the cover was removed),
in-motion worked great.
And now on to the really important stuff - Remove the tool box from the passenger #3 bay and reinstall in the driver #3 bay. - Remove the undersized grill from the passenger #2 bay and install new 'man sized grill' in the passenger #3 bay. Install new 53" LCD TV on swing out bracket, in passenger #2 bay.
I have pics, but not really understanding how to attach them.

Kevin, what type of paint did you use? I need to do my dish, but can't find a non metalic that is even near the color of my coach (in a rattle can). Did you have paint mixed?
Thanks, Pete

Pete. I just found a auto painter. It's a small mix so a small shop painter is more likely to do it. They can mix any epoxy color you want.

Pete,
We used a Dupont paint, mixed to the color of a stripe on the coach. We had the shop come out with their paint reader and color match what we wanted.
It was interesting to find out that most 'metalic' paints, no longer contain metal, but are an 'acrylic metalic'. New paints are really incredible.

Thanks Kevin, most paint shops now use a base coat/clear coat system and my concern was the thickness of the paint when complete. Did you do base coat/clear coat or just one coat of paint?
-
We used a single application.
We have used a base/clear in the past on our motorcoach fleet. We have returned to a single step paint, especially on flexible plastic parts. Clear will chip off and leave a pitted look. Single step has a much more durable finish.

Thanks Kevin...that answers my question.
