Exterior material camper trailer
Permalink  

Hello to everyone.

 

New to this site and looking forward to reading all the great topics, will most probably have more questions than answers to contribute

I am planning to repaint my camper trailer (1997 Golf Slipstream) but is unsure what the outside panels are made of, picture attached. I think it is cladded aluminium.

Anyone's ideas, suggestions or help in any way would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Francois

Welcome to the gang Faduv, enjoy here and out in the playground.

I vote Aluminium for sure.



Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Yes Francois it is aluminium - Just ensure you take off decals, light sand and degrease, good Automotive primer and two pack paint - If you do all the prep including masking a local auto finisher/ panelbeater would most probably be an economic solution.

Once prepped, and cleaned with prepsol, make sure you use either adhesion promoter or a good etch primer before painting.
