Thanks..... Just thought it would be a fun project and by doing it myself it'll cost $400 vs the $1800 a shop wanted to charge me....

Update: finished 1st stage sanding; now ready to drape coach and mask everything off....
FYI - when u are trying to drape a coach with a 20' X 25' sheet of plastic in a slight breeze by yourself, you WILL get your butt KICKED !!!! Definitely could have used an extra pair of hands BUT did get it done....
Sprayed with primer and will wet sand it when it's dry.... Will be ready to paint once that's done....

Cool. For the record...they make liquid mask for overspray....you just paper mask 12-24" and the mask it washes off after finishing.

Yeah I've seen that BUT I wanted overkill protection so I used a $18.00 20' X 25' plastic drop cloth which covered a ton of roof and sides plus it was easy to cut out the area I was gonna paint....
I had zero overspray which was my goal....

I'm way too expensive....
I did it for $300 plus $100 for sander and spray gun plus a lot of sweat.... Much better than the $1800 the paint shop wanted.....
