Combined paint and polish pics?

[sjhurlbut]

I'm looking for pics of partially painted, partially polished alum RVs.

Also how are they to maintain? Is the polish not abbrasive? How does it affect the paint edge?

Here's mine. The nuvite literature says that the light grades of polish won't bother paint or vinyl edges. I think some folks tape off the paint when they are using more aggressive polish grades though.
I don't believe you should compound polish paint or vinyl edges - the compounding is pretty aggressive and from what I understand is only for virgin metal (or maybe scratched or neglected surfaces). For compounding I would definately tape off. I did my compounding prior to paint and graphics. Since I just got mine done, I haven't re polished yet. I'm sure some more experienced folks will chime in. I plan to re polish about once every 6 mos. with just the random orbiter - we'll see....
