Pretty New Paint Job!

After many hours of hard work, it was finally time to give the Wicked Wahine a new coat of paint.  It took us days to prep her, having to scrape off old silicone that was placed around every window, drip rail, screw, you name it, it had silicone, and this stuff is a "BEAR" to get off!  She first received several coats of primer...then the white gloss paint.  I waited a week and hand painted the coral accents.  She looks pretty sweet...  I couldn't decide what kind of stripes to add, so I didn't!  Today we dropped her off at an artist's home, to paint some tiki/Hawaiian accents to the rear and driver's side panels.  Can't wait to see what she comes up with!  When that's complete, we're having a new air conditioner installed on the roof...after all, we live in the Sacramento Valley, where it's hot, hot hot and no fun camping in 100 degree heat!  I like vintage, but I like my comfort alot more!

  1. I love this. It looks killer. I have a Lo-liner I plan to one day paint. This is inspiring.

  2. Did you replace the drip rail or refinish the existing?
