Looks great! I’ve never seen that color combo either.

They do a Canada paint that is , I think called silicon sand something, ask Ted Cook. I was going to order but they quit building model I wanted

I ordered my 2021 Cornerstone 45W with a change of paint color with no problem. The same design but changed the color on one of the stripes.

Here is one at a dealer that did the same thing, I will post my pick when I pick up my coach.

I saw the all gray paint Cornerstone in Middlebury recently and while I am sure that the owner really liked his paint job (and his opinion is the only opinion that really matters )(and I believe he had the coach painted to match the gray color of his toad, which was exactly the same), I could not stop thinking that it looked a lot like those buses that are used to carry prisoners from one prison to another that you occasionally see with the bars in the windows... So to Dee and I, it was not attractive and certainly nothing I would pay extra money for. But then again, it's not my coach or my decision.

Now, even if I had the 2 mullion for the Liberty Coach, it would be hard to give the go ahead on a $100,000 exterior paint job.

If dirt, dust and water spots are a concern on black paint, why not have a high quality ceramic coating applied after delivery? I have had both our Anthem and now cornerstone coated. The coating resists dirt and dust and makes cleaning a breeze. Also, use a deionizer for rinsing/washing. They leave no water spots

I saw it too up at Spartan and I kinda liked it. I thought it looked stealthy. Here it is.

The coach that I saw had a different toad.... the toad was a gray maybe Chevy SUV.... same color. Guess you never know which unit was painted first or last to match.

So there must be a couple of them... or the Chevy SUV is a new addition.

Guilty as charged..... I didn't get the money that I have by pi***** it away for dumb stuff, so it is a lifelong tendency. (like any of the rest of us, I'm guessing ....

)

That coach, or one like it, is on it's second owner. The current current owned posted on FB that he purchased that coach from the previous owner because of the paint job.

Apparently you're exempting the purchase of multiple motorhomes from this assertion!

And yes, I am equally if not more guilty...

Gary.Jones · 11-22-2020, 04:17 PM

Ouch............ now THAT ONE really hurt!!! The only thing that keeps that from really being a serious wound is knowing that everyone who inhabits this forum has had the same problem with throwing good money after bad....

Gary, I have a good friend who is convinced the reason there is little to no discernable improvement in the quality of the products turned out by the RV industry is that there are so many of us crazy enough to keep buying them just the way they are.

He admits to being among the guilty, as do I.
