Yes, the spray-on, bed-liner type of coverings are likely the best for both noses and roofs.  But the cost may be prohibitive... or just plan on keeping the coach for another 20 years.

Doug Allman:
You probably wont believe this but I own a business that does spray polyurea coatings and also what are called bedliners.

We are going to do a new roof coating on our Marquis in late July. You can spray it on or roll it on, mix in some granules for traction if you have to get on roof. I am going to roll it on. Cost for product is probably going to be $400.00 with shipping. It will last for 30 years plus and more if inside storage for portion of the year. We are going to use a white color that will stay white and not effervesce thereby eliminating the white streaking on the side of the coach. It will seal all and help with noise.

Now I have seen the bedliner on the front of coach's and it all looked good. I did the same to the front and rear bumpers of the 1991 Contessa. But sometimes you are so close to the trees you cannot see the forest, ME. I never considered a coating and then repainting -DUH!!!! Well I sure am now.

I want to do a little sprucing up of the paint on the front, not gaudy but I have never really liked the plain front of the Marquis. Actually I never liked the sides and rear when we first looked at it but it has grown on me very favorably so I want to in some slight detail blend that in to the front for a little more 2016 look. Make the old horse look like a newer one. We have completed a significant interior remodel as we decided to keep the C-12, Allison and Roadmaster chassis in the 2004 after talking to TY.

Thanks Jerry.

Jerry Carr:
Doug I am sitting in the lot at BCS we have at least one maybe two rigs with this finish on the front if you would like me to take a photo I could do this for you.

Doug Allman:
Would be glad to look at photo. TKS.

Larry Fisk:
Sorry Doug, I just saw your message. According to the folks who reapplied my 3M product the new version is much more resilient and does not degrade like the older product. As I said we shall see. I hesitated to have it reapplied at first but since we were driving the coach to Alaska for the summer decided to go ahead and go for it. The prices you were quoted are much less than I paid. If I remember correctly to remove the old, repaint the front, and apply the new product was in the 2,400 dollar range.
