1996 Itasca Suncruiser Paint Project
So I decided it's time to freshen up the Old Winnie by attempting a DYI paint job. The old finish was dull and oxidized and the decals faded and cracked. I spent the last couple weeks pulling off the old decals. I used a variety of methods to accomplish this. The decals that were in decent shape just required a heat gun. The ones that were dried out and cracked I had to get serious with an eraser wheel. The only problem was the dried cracked baked on decals on the metal hood. A heat gun wasn't cutting it and the eraser wheel burned right through to the primer. Next step will be next spring. I plan to tape it out and sand and paint it. I haven't decided on a method yet, leaning toward just rolling it with Rustoleum cut with mineral spirits, as I've seen others have pretty good results. I am wondering if I should scrape all the seals first, then paint and reseal or reseal first then paint? I will try and upload some before and after pics as I go along.
