Rustoleum fail

I too live in SC, have most of my life and I kinda like it here!

Maybe what they say is true - that everything looks like a nail to someone who only knows how to use a hammer.

Problem I'm getting in SC is I just can't get work. I did admin all the time before I came to the US. Then I did front desk for an employer who subsequently died (sole practitioner). After that all I get is retail garbage or kiddue minding garbage. I send off resumes til I'm blue in the face. Doesn't do any good. Tried all the jobs websites and its all scams and agencies faking it.

It sounds like a case of having to drink at the right bars, go to the right churches or be in the right golf clubs.

As far as paint I've had good luck with industrial acrylic paint. Not the shiniest but holds up well and is easy to spray with an airless.

Acrylic sounds good. I like to slap it on with a brush or a roller. I'd kinda like to stay grey. How much is it for a gallon bucket?

Somewhere between $30 and $50.

That sounds doable. I might try my grit blaster again with coarser grit and repaint but after I've done the front door unlock ing gizmo, battery compartment and water tanks.

Clifford, I was born in Kingstree South Carolina so I guess I am a bit partial

Not to high jack the rustoleum thread..........but what would be the best paint to paint a coach with?

[kyle4501]

Imron holds up very well

All of the single stage urethane's hold up really well. For south of San Antonio I've had great luck with acrylic enamel top coated with urethane clear-coat. All are available for 75.to125.  a gallon. Professional or industrial coatings or designed to be kept up by your maintenance staff. They are not automotive grade finishes. rdw

  Imron holds up very well 

    True but in my (limited) experience it's expensive and hard to work with.  It's pretty much the perfect thing to do the body on a dump truck but it's always seemed to be overkill for a bus.  But others may know more about how to use it and make it work.

[kyle4501]

Overkill, on a bus, used as a motorhome ?

I thought that was why we wanted a bus based motorhome - for the overkill of the chassis. 

Looks like Imron lasted over 25 years on mine.

I have no dog in the fight, but I've used Du Pont's Delfleet Essential on three motorhomes now and have been surprised at the quality.  It is a single stage polyurethane with a catalytic hardener that is as easy to apply as sprayed Rustoleum.  It probably isn't as good as Imron but it is about 1/3 the price.  Sprayed with a HVLP gun, it dries with a glossy finish similar to a factory paint job and seems to tolerate bird poop reasonably well.  I have't tried color sanding and buffing though I'm sure you could.  Jack
