  • Our current gate-guarding gig is coming to a close, but we don’t know exactly when, so we did a dumb thing and started a MASSIVE RV project. We’re attempting to repair cracked RV graphics as a cheaper way to spruce up the outside. But we’re not only racing against the clock; we’re also fighting that West Texas wind, which isn’t ideal for spray painting.

But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs!

    My wife and i just talked about decals as well and how ugly they usually are. We rather go with a unicolour (like battleship grey). But any RV without factory designed decals is a beautiful RV ;) Thanks for the video. And a big hello from our small TH-cam channel to you both!

    • @OpenRoading
      @OpenRoading  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We love a lot of the newer styles of rv exteriors that are very minimalistic! We considered doing something different with the pattern on this one but decided not to because we knew that you would still be able to see the "shadow" of the old decals once we removed them. So we just went with some fresh color. 🙂
      Thanks so much for stopping by and I'm looking forward to catching a couple of your videos soon! -J

    RV belt moulding.
    Your tire wear is definitely not from shocks. You have toe-in wear, the axles need to be checked for being bent, wheel bearings loose, etc.
    When laying out paint lines the edges are easiest laid out with 1/4" pinstripe tape (sharp, smooth edges and curves) then apply your masking.
    When spraying paint don't wave the can back and forth. Long, straight passes that extend into the masking are what you want. If you have a thin spot you can cover it with the next coat.

    • @OpenRoading
      @OpenRoading  หลายเดือนก่อน

      RV Belt moulding: Do they still make it self adhesive? Because this isn't the typical moulding with inserts that I keep finding elsewhere. This was self adhesive and 1 piece. No screws. No track.
      Tire wear has actually improved immensely since replacing the shocks. Hasn't completely solved it but you'd be...shocked 😁 at how much better it's gotten.
      We're certainly not experts at painting but we're pretty proud of it being our DIY selves. -J

It appears to me to be similar to what I would refer to as an "Automotive belt moulding" often used as side moldings on cars, I just checked on Amazon and found a couple of examples you just need to know the width and most use a 3M adhesive tape to hold them to the surface.
