The building to the left is my son in laws shop i could pull the winnie inside use his compressed air and professional spray guns But moving the rig i am living in takes 1/2 hr to batten everything down and then have to relevel it after moving again is a pain the reason i am using rattle cans is strictly cost it  is less than 1/2 the price of automotive paint  What takes the time is doing the body work and removing and reinstalling parts It took 8 hrs to remove rear bumper ,ladder & spare tire carrier Then another 8 hrs to clea sand a repaint them and another 8 hrs to reinstall 2 days to do body work and 1 day to paint thats just the rear panel and i amusing air tools ossilating sanders etc if the total time is 4 weeks il figure it was faster than i thought it would be  now the l/s i have to replace the wood filler in the main panel its all mush  Frank

Hate to pass this on After ya ratle canned but for $49 air compressor and $19 spray gun from horbor freight ya could have knocked it out in 3 days. just an idea.

It is very hard to do such large panels esp in the bright sunlight the cans do not put out a lot of spray and it is very thin Runs easily and takes 4 5 coats to cover Took 7 cans to do rear panel and 21 to do right side wich has some dry spots that will need redone after cured 7 days By the time i get to the left side i will have a pretty good idea of what im doing But whatever its all white with the orange and yellow stripes gone  Checking on decals on E Bay there are quite a few !
