Moderators topgun2 Posted Saturday at 11:21 PM Moderators Share Posted Saturday at 11:21 PM Fiberglass repair is really not very difficult to do as long as you don't mind filling - sanding, filling - sanding, repeat (plenty of YouTube vids and info available over at the FiberglassRV.com forum). The biggest issue is getting the gel coat color to match. The folks at Oliver should be able to tell you exactly what color you have and even (perhaps) send you a small amount of it. I know that they spray it on for any of the small repairs that I've seen them do. Good luck!

I did patch these holes when I filled some screw holes on the body. Like Bill wrote, it is tedious with the sanding, and I only got it so good, trying to sand the fill without dulling the area around it. I used this product that was pretty good, color just a tad brighter than our old hull. 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted Sunday at 07:16 AM Moderator+ Share Posted Sunday at 07:16 AM Oliver has used at least two different colors of gelcoat through the years. The current models are a much brighter white that the older ones. 4 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved dogs Storm, Lucy, Maggie and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While finishing up the Attic wiring and another install today, it was hard to find the two LARGE holes I filled months ago that were the original streetside corner TV mounts. Also today, I used almost the last of my Marine-Tex to fill all the screw holes and the large openings for the front camera and the front-corner mounted Wi-Fi booster. We'll see tomorrow after some sanding, posting results in my other thread, re rooftop repair. I just ordered another Marine-Tex kit for future use, good to have on hand! 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

jd1923 Posted Monday at 03:16 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 03:16 AM Finishes up everything today. I installed so much HW and wiring behind the panels there is so much room now inside! Blu-ray/DVD on the shelf, lower shelf empty after deleting the Wally. Room for a small box of DVDs, my extra Dewalt charger, Chris' fan, another very important tool and of course my hat! Football on everyday this weekend. Version 2 of this upgrade is done again. 😂 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
