Hello Again,
I notice that the plastic work all around the bottom of my motorhome seems to be shredding its skin! I bought my 2004 Carioca 5 van last December and when I first noticed the plastic work I thought it was just a lacquer coat peeling off, now I'm not so sure. The plastic skirting started off black in colour (I assume) but is now turning grey, though the bumpers back and front seem to be unaffected. The layer peeling off is virtually translucent, totally devoid of colour and the overall look of the van is spoilt by this phenomena.
Can anyone explain why this is happening and/or offer suggestions on how I might be able to improve the look of my van? Might it be that I will have to replace all the plastic bits and if so any ideas on cost?
Is there anything on the market that I can use to restore the colour? any special paint or chemical preparations etc?
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this situation. Here's hoping someone in funland can offer some advice. Thanks everyone.
Brian.
