OK...so now that I got my sweet, beautiful camper, I need some painting tips. The inside doesn't really need to be touched, but the outside has definitely been sun bleached and needs some fresh paint. I want to keep the vintage "Robin's Egg Blue" color, but sadly, hubby is not too fond of it. Help me convince him that once it's freshened up, the color will be amazing!
Also, does anyone have any tips for painting? What kind of paint should I use and what's the best way to apply it to get a pretty, shiny, professional look? My father-in-law said something about rubbing it down with acetone first? I have no clue about where to start, but I know many of you farmgirls have done this, so give me some tips, please :)

Thanks Grace! I wish I could afford to take it to the auto paint shop. I have a feeling that would be super expensive though, huh? Anyone had it done that would like to give me a ballpark figure on what it generally costs?
