I think they were originally the same color as the lower color of the camper.

I didn't primer over the stripe. I sanded an polished it. This left a lot of bare metal on both sides of the stripe so I maded the polished section and primed the bare spots... so there is tape protecting the polished stripe. before painting the green and white, I removed the tape, clear coated the stripe and retaped it... I would not do this again were I to do another one. Just would have left it polished aluminum. <br /><br />Not sure exactly what you mean by the seams, but I painted my camper the way the factory would have done it... put the whole thing together minus windows and exterior stuff and spray spray spray. Covers all the seams.<br /><br />Hope this helpsTylerbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940179375154410576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650892922657269957.post-27759038580142876472014-09-10T17:39:10.692-04:002014-09-10T17:39:10.692-04:00I have two questions and the first may be really s...I have two questions and the first may be really stupid. So did you put the primer over the Z stripe section? Looks like it in the first photos. Just wondered why that was if you were getting it down to the aluminum. ???<br /><br />Also, how do people decide to paint over the aluminum seams? Some do, some don't. I'd like to know more about the decision to paint over them. Does this make it any harder to remove them in the future?

I have a 1963 airflyte that I want to restore and am learning alot from all that have taken the time to document there restorations. Thanks for the tip on not removing the interior paneling when you take apart the trailer. I guarantee you that I would have done the same thing you did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650892922657269957.post-79593599645605588792011-09-12T21:52:26.528-04:002011-09-12T21:52:26.528-04:00Beautiful!Beautiful!Party Planner!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08988601194329107327noreply@blogger.com
