Thanks Lazy Daze for using single stage paint!The two-part polyurethane paint holds up extremely well, and not having a clear coat to fail is even better.I'm glad the red is buffing out. The red paint used a few years later faded quickly; there were quite a few red LD owners who were not happy. Andy had the red sections repainted on his 2003 MB a few years later due to fading.Larry

RonBThanks Ron , ya Dave had bad luck with mechanics . Its our first lazy and we're excited to get it fixed up and back on the road . I'm having a motor built right now with some upgrades like arp studs and a little aggressive cam , headers maybe electric cut outs for fun 😁. I love the cut outs on my 69 charger makes the ears ring lol. Thanks craig

The burgundy on the bottom shined to mirrior finish and it looked so faded I didn't have hope it would . I'll get some pics of the side .Thanks Craig

Would you be willing to share it?

Would you be willing to share it?I used harbor freight meguiar's cutting compound , and next is their compounding then their polishing compound and after all that a good coat of wax . Its also good to use a clay bar first to clean the paint . Their pads for the da are cheap 10 buck for 2 and you will need cutting pads , compounding pads and polishing pads . Harbor freight has a nice 6 inch da for i think was 150 . I've only done the cutting so far and it looks this good so can only think it's going to shine better.
Re: Polish goes a long ways.. Reply #7 – September 10, 2025, 01:04:25 pm Hi TxCamper; I had to look at Harbor Freight tools for a clue to 'DA', and I came up with 'Dual Action' buffing machines, as in orbital combined with rotational. I hope that was correct. As an example: https://www.harborfreight.com/8-amp-6-in-forced-rotation-dual-action-polisher-59561.html . I have a Ryobi orbital polisher, that gets random orbital action when I don't hold it steady. I also have had good results with Meguiars, and Washwaxall. YMMV as Joan would have added. RonB

RonBYes sir thats a da . They do a good job but does get warm pretty quickly I might go get that one so I can switch off and let one cool down. Do you know where to get awning legs? There is only one leg and the bar I found , also a lazy dash cover?Craig

Re: Polish goes a long ways.. Reply #10 – September 10, 2025, 06:41:14 pm As far as the awning goes, if it is the same as our 94 then here are the manufacture and model number. If anything were to break , repair parts might be a problem.A&E Systems by Dometic509 S Poplar St.LaGrange, Indiana 46761Product # 958300619Model # 977P13.050Serial # 33893915Jon
Re: Polish goes a long ways.. Reply #11 – September 10, 2025, 06:42:01 pm Hi TxCamper (Craig); Jon might have the awning you have, I don't know when Lazy Daze switched to Fiamma. If you have a Fiamma, the bar is probably a center rafter. Inside the awning there should be a sticker that identifies the original Fiamma part number. (Picture is my part number for a '99) RonB

Dave said he thought he might know where to get one but said he used it with one with no issues but I'd rather have both . Craig
