This past winter, the wing walk material failed. It basically unlaminated from the adhesive, leaving the adhesive on the wing. It's happened a couple times, so I'm replacing in with another brand of material.
The issue I'm facing is that when I pulled the piece of wing walk material off the wing that was remaining, I've got about 6" x 3" area in which the paint failed and came off stuck to the wing walk material.
I'm now researching options.
1. How to I seal the edges of the paint left to ensure that it doesn't continue to separate? I don't want the mechanical paint bond to continue to fail past the wing walk material area. Especially if I have a remove the wing walk material again in the future.
2. The more I think about this, I'm wondering if I need to fill the void where that paint is? Since the wing walk material is fairly supple, especially when it's in the hot sun, I'm wondering if I will take the shape of the outline and slight depression of where the missing paint is? Granted the thickness of the paint isn't much, but as a perfectionist, I don't want it looking like **** either.
I've got a call into the person that painted my RV, but our schedules are making it difficult to talk together without playing voice mail tag.
