I was browsing the photo site and saw a set by Jim Wagner where he painted his gas tanks with a thermal paint that claims it stops 90% of radiant heat. There was recently a short discussion on FB about the same product but no one had any experience with it.
Was there ever a followup by Jim W, or anyone, on how well or if it worked?

Tom Pryor researched and is using a thermal coating which seems to give good results. P'raps he'll let us know about it.

Jerry,
It will slow down the transfer of heat from the road into the fuel tanks; however, it will not stop it. JimB coated the tanks with
this stuff and a few days after he did it the owner called and noted that his vapor lock problem still existed but they were
delayed.

Most thermal coatings like this are best at reflecting radiation like
sunlight. We also have a lot of radiant heat under the vehicle which should
be attenuated but hot air component not so much.

Jerry,
There is a difference between your 73 and 77 coaches.
From the top down the 73's floor consists of:
- Carpeting / decorative wood / vinyl / etc.
- 1" thick plywood
From the top down the 77's floor consists of
- Carpeting / decorative wood / vinyl / etc.
- 1" thick plywood
- 3/4" thick Styrofoam
- Aluminum sheet

Thanks for the responses. I wasn't thinking about this curing vapor-lock but as one part of the whole.
What ran through my mind was:
I believe the best way to stop heat penetration into the coach is to stop it before it gets through the floorboards. I wonder if
this could be a less
expensive and lighter alternative than multiple layers of floor coverings on top of the plywood floor.
It is available premixed or as an additive to other paints.
If used in the premixed white, it would be a bear to keep clean but, you could see any leaks right away. :)

does this indicate that 73 ones have more headroom that 77 ones?
