Default Has anyone done this??

My wife wants me to paint our motorhome with a HD theme. Looking for ideas and comments. (no flames please) It is a 36' so lots of space to paint. I know this seems lame but damn I love the woman!! She wont ride with me but she does support me- any ideas?? It will be a winter project. If I can figure out how' I will upload a photo.

Wrather then paint the whole RV, look into getting a vehicle wrap. It should be quicker and easier (and removable). You can probably get pics or your bike or you and your wife... or the Easy Rider bikes... HD bar and shield... use the existing lines in the paint as rolling hills... add some roads and bike riding throught hte hills....

Bar and shield as big as you can get it. Black and orange background for the rest of it. Keep it simple.

I agree, keep it simple -- you don't want to attract thieves -- same thing goes for the trailer

Keep in mind how hard a RV is to sell if you want to get out of it, let alone a RV for a specific group. Id skip on the paint idea and do like others have said...wrap it.

my covered trailer has a big sign that says "Danger Live Rattlesnakes". now when i stop for gas people want to see the snakes. LOL. when i bought it some asked me if i was going to Harleyize it. i said no as that would tell thieves to take the trailer and hope there was a Harley inside. I sotred my bike in it daily for 3 years until i got the garage built. before the trailer the bike was in the living room daily for almost three years.

I don't know if I would want to see the price for a wrap on a vehicle that size. What I've seen recently is to do a mid sized car it's from $3000-$5000 and painting the whole thing would limit your resale. How about some king of mural or design on the back panel only? When you do decide to trade it that would be the only part that had to be repainted. Just a couple of thoughts for you..

How about just paint it all black, then put some Harley decals on it?
