In the beginning of September I decided to finally repaint my coach because I could not live with the Beige any longer. What was supposed to be a quick repaint has turned into a major undertaking because I decided to do it right.

Having worked in the prototype and concept car business for 15 years, I've done this job many times but never on this scale. Most of the work I've done was on cars and SUV's. Doing this 23' is about like doing two SUV's at the same time.

Due to the scale of this project I had to bring on my friend Terry Uhlik. He's a skilled body man and we've worked together for many years. Without his help, everything would take twice as long.

Here's a photo log of my progress.
