Pictures of the paint job in progress on this 1981 came up on a Facebook group I belong to.....thought you might be interested.

That's OURS!  Iron Horse RV in San Antonio is doing the paint job and replacing some windows etc..  They've been taking photos the whole time and must have put some on the internet.  I'm hoping you Gurus like the new paint when it's done.  It's similar to the original but with some modifications.  Iron Horse is going above and beyond what we ever expected.  I thought they would remove the peeling black paint and paint over the existing gold/cream paint but they took it down to bare metal.  In the process they discovered that the cream color was painted over the original Newell paint.  Originally it was bare aluminum with a burgundy stripe along the side.  Last week when we visited the windows were still out but it looks like they have re-installed them in the one photo you sent.
Thanks for the info.
