Greetings and salutations KZ fam,
My husband and I recently purchased a used 2010 Sportsmen Classic 14RK and we are madly in love. She’s in great shape - still smells new! However, the beige walls just aren’t doing it for us, so I’m hoping for some guidance from the community here.
I spoke with KZ customer service and they raised the concern about chemicals in paint reacting negatively with the vinyl and/or adhesive bonding it to the Luan paneling underneath. After much research and a few calls to authorized KZ shops, here’s my plan:
- light scuff sanding of walls
- tack cloth dust, then clean with a mixture of vinegar and water (KZ customer service had never heard of TSP and frankly I’m reluctant to use such a heavy duty chemical)
- prime with oil-based KILZ primer (a couple coats I’m sure)
- paint with latex-based paint after the primer has properly cured
Is this a safe approach? Luckily we love the cabinets as-is so that should save some work on our part, but before I get in there with this plan I was hoping for some insight or advice from y’all here in the KZ fam forum.
Any feedback would be sincerely appreciated!
