I think you might have your port and starboard reversed.

Too much tawny perhaps?

Not if you are looking backwards. Grin

Would you paint something this time or use new decals if you decide you do not like the plain sides.

Not sure yet John. I am liking the plain coloured sides so far.

With the door the clear coat could be a problem to, some two pack paints I have used, the top coat is the catalyst, it reacts with the base colour and then sets to give the finish.
If it was what I call acrylic, the top coat is just that.

This is a European Fiat thing so they could have put anything on it really. I will take it to a panel beater and see what they say. If the whole door has to be resprayed then so be it.

Some of you may remember when I first bought the motorhome I put a hole in one of the panels when a silly parking attendant waved me over to where they were standing. (First photo)

The repair job was under one of the stickers I removed today and what a bodgy job they did to it then covered it up with a new bit of vinyl. (Second photo.

Going to have to get that redone now as well. Angry

Well my hands, arms and shoulders are buggered but all the decals are gone. Going to leave the front top ones for now as they look ok.

Now the job of cleaning and polishing then replace the side bumper strips.

Hoping to get away for a couple of weeks end of the month if Maggie’s medical appointments all work out.
