Unfortunately, it is too late to go back and restart. I would think that a roller would have done a much better job with the primer. With the exception of a foam brush for corners, the base coat for the countertop was done with a roller.

  The Valspar I picked up today looks much truer, since that is the chip's brand; I had them put a very large dab on the can this time, so I could send a pic to the wife. LOL

Thanks.  Tonight or tomorrow I'm putting in some metal trim on it for bling, and then the kitchenette will look happy for the wife.

Added weather stripping to the under bed storage compartment, keeps a more stable temp in the bed area.

The kitchenette painting is finally done, finished it up this morning just in time for our first trip today. We made some brushed aluminum strips, and added them for detail and bling.f those little square thin magnets shown in the pic...those stick like glue!

Thanks! We just made our first trip. Been set up for about 2 hours now. Looking at the beach from the pod. I wish this site would let me post pics from my iPhone!

Ultimate Pod Mod, actually use it! Yesterday we came back from our first trip. Only 80 miles away to the coast in RI, but at least I can add another state flag now! You can see why we bought it, the profile of the inlaws' cottage is barely bigger than Rpod! .

Your backsplash is quite attractive. It is too bad the magnetic base coat was such a pain.

Did you end up getting the moving dolly to maneuver it into place, or were you able to back it in with your TV?

We somehow managed to back it in. It took a few tries, but we pulled it off. The hardest part is that the streets there are unusually narrow, I had to drive my truck onto the neighbors lawn. Of course I had two people ask me about the Rpod, once during the drive and once at the beach.
