RV Body Work & Gel Coat Restoration

When you invest in an RV, you’re investing in your freedom to travel, explore, and enjoy the open road. Over time, however, your RV’s exterior can start to show wear — from sun fade and oxidation to scratches, dullness, and weather damage. That’s where professional RV body work and gel coat restoration comes in.

At Your RV Doctor in Lumby, BC, we specialize in restoring RV exteriors to like-new condition using advanced techniques, high-grade materials, and industry-standard refinishing methods. Whether you want your travel trailer, motorhome, or fifth wheel looking polished and protected, our expert team is here to help.

What Is Gel Coat and Why Does It Matter?

Gel coat is the glossy, protective outer layer applied to many RVs, boats, and fiberglass vehicles. Its purpose is to:

  • Protect the fiberglass beneath from UV and weather

  • Provide a smooth, shiny finish

  • Resist scratches and minor impacts

  • Maintain the overall value and appearance of your RV

Over time, gel coat can become chalky, faded, or scratched — especially under intense Okanagan sun and seasonal weather changes.

Common Exterior Problems We Fix

At Your RV Doctor, we repair and restore a wide range of RV exterior issues:

✔ Oxidation & Sun Fading

UV exposure is the #1 reason RVs lose their shine. We use professional compounds, buffers, and sealants to eliminate oxidation and revive gloss.

✔ Scratches, Scuffs & Surface Damage

From tree branches to road debris, your RV can take some hits. Our technicians repair damage so your exterior looks clean and smooth again.

✔ Gel Coat Cracks & Spidering

Small fractures can spread if not addressed early. We repair cracks, refinish the area, and restore a uniform finish.

✔ Dull & Weathered Surfaces

If your RV has been sitting or hasn’t been polished in years, we bring it back with deep restoration techniques.

Our RV Gel Coat Restoration Process

Every RV is different, but our general process includes:

1. Deep Exterior Cleaning

We wash and decontaminate the RV to remove road film, grime, and environmental buildup.

2. Oxidation Removal

Using professional-grade compounds, we carefully remove oxidation, chalkiness, and fading.

3. Gel Coat Repair

Cracks, chips, and damaged sections are repaired and blended to match the surrounding surface.

4. Polishing & Refinishing

We polish the RV to restore a bright, high-gloss finish. This is where your RV starts looking new again.

5. Protective Coating Application

We finish with a UV-resistant protectant or ceramic coating (upon request) to keep your RV looking great longer.
