I agree. Had our 53' FEATHERLITE Hauler wrapped in '06, in 2 years, looked like chit. I think that was $10K in Mooresville, by "experts". I got a quote from a place in Charleston, WV, couple of months ago, to get my '02, 12' V-Nose FEATHERLITE wrapped. It's a Black, 1625, smooth side, no rivets, either. Still looks pretty good, and pulls like there ain't nothin' back there, but they wanted $3500.00! My Body-Man said he could sand it down with some kind of sand paper that feels more like tissue paper than sand paper, but it's got a very little fine feeling of grit, for lack of a better word, as a Body-Man I ain't. Then he said he would clear coat it, and it would look like new. Said he'd do in his shop at home for $12-1500, and then offered to do it for nothing 'cause he's worked for me for 20 years. I think that's the route i'm gonna' go, but I'm gonna' pay him. It's still a good Trailer, and one of the old-style FEATHERLITES. Not that junk Forrest-River makes now, and puts a FEATHERLITE name on it. Later--HUBBARD
