Hello All,
An A&P advised me that black paint will cause my fiberglass to go past its Tg and distort. I have used black paint on boats, and see other RVs with black paint so I thought I might find someone here who has done this and can share experience with hot sun conditions.
As a mental aside: wouldn't shutting down a fully warmed engine with the stock Van's baffling provide more temp than sun/black paint? (of course I am talking about the average core temperature of the glass matrix and not what we feel on the outer skin)
Cheers
Vince
