Yes all full paints will have a two stage automotive paint process. Base coat and Clear coat. I hope this helps.

No paint on sides of slideouts?
Slide out end-walls (sides) are generally painted when full-body paint is optioned. It does look like those pictured have painted end-walls with the main body color.
What we don't do as it's very expensive, is continue painted striping from the main body, through the ends of the slide rooms. I'm talking about many thousands extra.

Beautiful! Finally, an exterior that lives up to the class of the interior. I never liked the plain white Bighorns.

We ordered our 3160 back in November...with full body paint and our arrival date is end of Jan. Wonder if the paint causes some of the delay.
Sooooo eager for it to arrive!!

I agree. It looks to me like Heartland is 'cheaping' the Landmark and elevating the Big Horn. They are going to lose Landmark customers to the Big Horn in MHO

The paint looks great but considering the cost I'd opt for IS/disc brakes and keep the decals.

So would I. That's a lot of money for something that will probably be out of style in not too many years. I think the Landmark 365 is much more tasteful with it's more minimalistic approach. Look at some of the paint jobs and color schemes that others have had over the years and how dated they look now...Don
Love the paint! I went to the factory and I saw some of the darker colored versions there in the lot next to the plant. They look great too. Its big bucks, but hey, its an option you either want or not. Best of luck with your beautiful new rig, when that ugly snow melts.

Ouch Jim.
LM365 and BH are both amazing products. There's been no cheapening on either product.
On the LM365 full-body paint option, the Diamond White base coat was specifically chosen by Tom to reflect versus absorb more sunlight/heat in the daytime to ease the AC demand. Then he accents that with at least 4 color choices in the balance of the paint scheme.
Is it different than what we've done before? Yes. Different than most full-body paint schemes offered by most other manufacturers? Probably. Here again, there was reasoning behind it.
This all said, and looking at the other replies in this thread, the paint is resonating with some and not with others. This will always be the case with decor choices, inside and out.
Will LM365 really lose unit sales to BH over full-body paint schemes? Maybe. But it's all in the family at that point
Jim - I've known you and Sheila for many years. Though the LM365 paint schemes are not your cup-of-tea, I am very pleased that you are pleased with the choice you made with your LM and that's what really matters.
I have looked at the new LM365's up close at a couple of dealers, and I think they are beautiful in side and out. I love the white, and black paint jobs. I really liked the interiors of the ashland, and newports we have seen. If anything I think the overall features are getting better, not cheapening out. I personally am not in the market for a coach that is 40 plus feet long. Now if they come up with some smaller units?
