PAINTING RV INTERIOR for LONG TERM DURABILITY (The Right Way!)
We pushed this video to the front of the line because it was the most requested video in our remodel series. What video do you want to see next? Let us know!
Here's a summary of the process (with the products we used):
1) Sand everything. We recommend this sander: amzn.to/3HqLiKY with 100 grit sanding discs: amzn.to/3tfnTam
2) Wipe down every surface with water or TSP: amzn.to/3vizBUx
3) Mask. We recommend this masking machine: amzn.to/3K3iABV
4) Primer. We HIGHLY recommend this primer: www.sherwin-williams.com/home...
if you don't have access to this primer, this is the next best: amzn.to/3hm2ozf
We also recommend using an airless sprayer to apply the primer and paint. This one is highly recommended from Harbor Freight: www.harborfreight.com/handhel...
or try this one from Amazon: amzn.to/3hog2BQ
5) Caulk visible seams and gaps. We recommend the stretchiest paintable caulk available. It's this one: amzn.to/3BU6Yhw
6) Paint: We HIGHLY recommend this paint: www.sherwin-williams.com/home...

I want to see the RV tour! I did not think this was a motor home I thought it was a fifth wheel it looks so roomy I have a Fleetwood boundary and mine is 35 feet
newly widowed, 1979, I bought a forty by 12 manufactured home on a tiny beach town lot. It had the usual dark inner walls etc. I went to the paint store, asked no questions, painted the walls, no prep, because I didn't know better. The paint looked great, for about an hour, then started bubblig and peeling. To make this a shorter story, I finally got some advice, and eventually got the walls looking like I wanted. But, oh my, the trauma. Now I am in the market for a rv to live in full time and know I will be painting, and your videos are super helpful. where were you in those early days. Probably in grade school, that was so long ago. Thanks so much for all your help!

These tips and tricks are super helpful! Thank you! (and I’ve watched many 😆 also, by using a paint sprayer it probably ends up paying for itself by saving so much paint over using just a roller and brush - I always feel like 1/3 of the gallon ends up on me, the floor, the pan, the can, the dog, the high nap roller, etc. An edging tool for finishing touches once you’ve unmasked everything is super helpful too! 👍🏼

Paint is soo important. We just bought our first rv and everything looked okay . Started taking things apart for renovation . They had painted over everything and sooo bad . I feel like they were painting while it was in motion . And even taped over peel and stick deco . As in there was already layers of stuff and peel and stick and just put more peel and stick over that . Good thing is it made us go further into taking things apart and doing our own thing.

Is it better to caulk before priming? Ive seen caulks turn yellow when not primed and painted with white. Also seen a different "sheen" when not primed. Looks awsome! That video will show my wife the amount of prep that is involved.
I wonder if acryllic latex paint would stop the cracks from weather changes? And I truly hope the answer is yes as I’m setting up my roller 😅
this one was out for 6months before I saw it.. sorry, I look forward to your new shows. & Halleluiah for Uncle Sam!
SO MUCH USEFUL INFO HERE!! Thanks!! Curious which sheen you used or suggest for the ProClassic paint? I plan to use white on walls and a dark blue or green on kitchen cabinets.
