Painting our coach this weekend

[Scott & Heather]

Thanks cliff. So if we could do it differently we would have made the graphics pop more. The paint chip book indicated the brown was much lighter. So you can hardly see the graphics in photos . Something we can fix later. Anyway, Sherwin Williams BCCC. Sealer and acid etch primer also Sherwin Williams. This job cost about $6000 total.

Two coats of everything for the most part

If you decide you can't live with the 'ghost graphics' look (although they don't look bad, being perhaps the motorhome equivalent of ghost flames on a hot rod), one idea would be to get another identical set of vinyl graphics cut and then lay them over the painted graphics, but at a slight offset. That would give you a traditional 'solid drop shadow' 3D effect, which would both fix the issue you aren't happy with and give an extra air of sophistication to the whole paint scheme as well

Jeremy is right, that would look cool!

Looks great! Our bus is painted but we haven't done any detail work yet. And I think your price wasn't bad either!!!

I like it..looks stealth.
Not in your face...

Another idea would be to pinstripe the edges of the graphics in a more contrasting colour (a lighter shade of the same colour would probably be best), which would do a lot to give the the existing graphics more definition and presence

Hi Jeremy, drop shadow is a great idea mind if I use it, tom, lvmci...

I had a shadow Eagle on the front cap of our Eagle Bus I didn't care for it you had to tell people it was there,I finally had it painted over and did something else.George has a Eagle on his cap and you don't notice it either unless he tells where to look

Jeremy I honestly will likely go with the edge pinstripe idea. Easier and will let the graphic pop lore

That is amazing, what a huge job and it ended up great. You are definitely going to be living the bus high life, the bees knees going down the road!
