        Is that on the top of the front cap? If it is I would get that fixed as soon as possible so it doesn’t start to creep down the front. That doesn’t look good at all !!!!

        Actually on front and back, that is the front!
        Just go to a paint shop?
        I like the full body paint job but I actually wish it was
        normal white.

        Thanks for your help.

        Jim,

        Is that clear on full body paint, or just the clear coat on the fiberglass?

        A good body shop with LOTS of room to maneuver.

        The following company did supply Carriage with some of their paints. They might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.

        Don,

        I had a pickup with clearcoat a dozen years ago that did what is happening to you. They had to strip it down to bare metal and start all over. Hope this is not the case for you.

        In this case the ring off. Clearcoat should be DA sandes back to areas where it is sticking and spray new color over these areas then go over with clearcoat to the next seam. Redo graphics and you’re done. Will not fit I’m my shop or I’d offer to take care of everyone with paint problems. Here for FAQ’s.

        Thanks Traveler
        I’ll call and see what they can help with Probably not any warranty on the paint(hope), but I’ll ask for sure. Did Carriage do there
        own painting in house?

        I have missed every ones post, down a long the Mississippi River the internet, cel phones service and big foots acting up, so with
        no service I can’t call Big Foot. I did finally get it leveled. Park has wifi, yeah!

        Carriage used several independent companies to do the painting for them. I had talked with the guy that had painted ours, but for the life of me I can’t find his card, I will keep looking.

        Has the issue been resolved? Why wouldn’t this be covered by the manufacturer warranty?

        Carriage being out of buzinezz.
        I don’t think the paint company would. If I could find them…
        I have several painters going to look at it when I get back to East Texas.
