Oh man, Dave...That's so gorgeous.  I would be paranoid with bugs and tiny pebbles getting on the new front paint.  Did you have a "mask" added to the front?

Dave,
The Coach looks great ;D and I hope you got to leave today, but if you are staying tomorrow you get a free lunch at FOT while perusing the IH 45.  It was great meeting you today and will send you the link for the LED's.  I sure wish I had your lights for the drive home today!  Just got to the hill country when it got dark :(, but then I thought if I hit a deer maybe new lights in the front.

Safe Travels,

Brad

Dave,
Beautiful!  Gives me a good idea what my 2000 36' U320 might look like with a FBP from Xtreme. 
Enjoy!

Felt it might be the time to mention all the steps involved in this Full Body Paint job.  I first thought the price was way high, but after finding out what is involved in the job, I started to see why the job is priced as it is.
First, I think all the plastic parts,PVC or what ever material is used, it is not suitable for painting, so new parts are included that can be painted, lots of them. Then you find the paint is the Glasurit by BASF (German paint), and the attention to all details of paint and finish, masking off the different designs, painting, sanding down, clear coat multiple layers unknown. Oh yes, everything is removed, windows, all attachments, awnings and hardware, antennas, horns, entrance door for new rubber seal gasket, on & on & on.  I now see why they figure a month for the job, this is not a paint job using a mop. (My style).
Bottom line I now have all LED lights except the headlights and the low fog lights, low bean is now the HID Xenon, WOW about covers that.
Now I hope I do not total it.
Been an education and I have enjoyed it.
Must say the Xtreme group is way above average and the finished job shows it.
Add 2 more shots of it, front end.
Thanks for going through this with me.
Dave

Peter,

I think that James is getting away from using the 3M paint mask.  If I am wrong, someone will let me know.  We were at Xtreme twice this year and both times someone had a coach in for removal of the paint mask that had failed.

Jeez, no mask, not sticky anything, just paint and art work, I truly believe Xtreme can do any kind of painting, including air brush pictures, their capability is truly amazing.
You need to visit their web site        http://www.xtremegraphics.net/foretravel.html
look it over goooood, there is  a lot to see and understand there including his Xtreme Marine Division.

Xtreme paint was very helpful in assisting me with info on how to remove my 3M the coach looks new. It took time, patience, and a lot of elbow grease.

Actually, Dave, it's we who owe you thanks for sharing the process here on the forum.  One hears about how great the FBP and head/tail light conversions are, but getting to "watch" and read about your coach going through the process a member can see for themselves what's involved.

Dave, you might increase the desirability of the older coaches with this thread. It is amazing what Xtreme can do and the way the coach looks after it is done.  You have a lovely coach and I can not wait to see it in person.

John, Yes the Xtreme job sure changed the overall looks of the coach, I must admit that I very nearly came away from Nac with that Green Phenix 07 with the ISX, the big hold up was the consignment issue, if Foretravel owned it, I am fairly certain I would be driving it now.
I have no plans on upgrading at this time as the 01 is still one of the better units on the road I feel.
Everything is in good order and I feel very comfy with the dependability of all the systems.
A funny, I ran across the chap that owned my coach prior to my purchase, he was at MOT when they were correcting the electric lock system, found he also kept my coach in a garage.
Am thinking about the rear door conversion plus the air intake on the side this spring, hope Rance feels more comfy about it as he has some concerns.
Lots of fun.
I expect to be through your Wal-Mart again in mid Fed on way to Harrisburg Pa for the Motor Rams show again.
