My 10 year old Layton is starting to look old because of the weather deterioration of the decals on the front. I removed some of the decals and repainted what I could and that doesn't look too bad from a distance. However, I would like to find a place that can remove the old stuff and place a pictorial over it. I realize there are places that make the stick-on murals that can be purchased, but I am not confident about doing the job myself without botching it as my trailer has rippled aluminum, not a flat surface. Can anybody recommend?

While I have never tried it I have read discussions about using a hair dryer to remove the old decals. This may prevent you from needing to repaint.
We have a mural on our motorhome and they are really designed to go on a flat surface. It came from Heritage murals and they do have a web site.
The other option, you might consider, is to find a graphic from another trailer that you like and have a dealer order some for you.
Sorry I could be of more help!!
Have a great day.

When I was still in the RV bus. we had a paint shop that we out sourced these jobs to. Check with various auto paint shops that do auto graphics and I'm sure you will find one that will do the install for you with out any problem.
If you need a list of different places that you can get different graphics from let me know an I will post the web addresses of the places that I used to deal with.

You might want to check out your local Sign Shops...
Make sure to ask who they have done work for, so you can check out how talented they are. Many sign shops do pinstriping & airbrush art too....:D
