Project: Toots the Boler After
Toots the Boler after – that’s right, we’re done Toots the Boler and here are some of his after photos. Check out the adorable paint job, the clean body look, and a few of the new shinny features.
Toots the Boler After
First, the outside – look at that bellyband shine!
The driver’s side is nice and clean – no vents and no small window above the stove. This 1971 gem didn’t need much fibreglass work since the driver’s side was originally clean looking. Just a water outlet on one side and the inlet on the other.
How about a little Boler safety? Chains – check! New jack – check! Heavy duty coupler – check! Not to mention the fancy new propane tank – custom painted.
Do you like the white frame? We love it – neat and clean, plus it keeps the Boler looking light on it’s ‘feet’!! White frames will require a bit of yearly maintenance, yet well worth the look.
Also, check out these side windows – so nice and clean with new gaskets ta-boot. Loving the clean white window trim on these clean yet original windows.
Okay, let’s head inside and take a closer look. That door – the best fitting door yet. Also, just a note that it’s not latched!
Now for all the coziness on the inside.
The back dinette seats four or sleeps two.
The bunk at the front converts to a couch or a perfectly snuggly spot for a pup.
The kitchen has the original sink and stove, yet all cleaned up and ready for some snack making duty.
All in all, Toots the Boler certainly cleaned up nicely – thanks to our hard work. Did you see the before? If not, you should check it out.
These lights are some of the best – full on school bus lights to keep you safe and well lit up at night. Plus, they’re a-okay for weather.
Well, thanks for visiting – hope you enjoyed our most recent overhaul!
Happy camping and I’ll see you again soon.

I would love to know what the colour name of the exterior blue is that you used and who makes it. That is absolutely the colour I am also looking for! Did you go with a gel coat or polyeurethane?

Hi Laurie,
Thanks for the comment. The colour is Bali Hai – this Instagram post shares the process, if you’re interested: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxfXlXYAAmn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
We went with a marine grade enamel.
Happy painting!

Hi, I notied that toots has a new dinetter table- can you please tell me what you made it out of ? what kind of wood , what type of finish etc. Thanx
Ali
Hi!
Thanks for the note. We shared a lot on Tipsy’s IG page. The info about the wood is in this post, if you want to check it out. The wood is 3/4 in Birch and the finish is as natural as we can get. That info is in this post, if you want to check that out, too.
Happy camping, Christy!
Take care,
Ali

I’m off social media, so sorry I can’t see the name of the paint. I love the colour! Thank you so much Brenda and Aiden

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for the note, for Toots the Boler we went with Bali Hai in Cloverdale’s marine grade enamel – you’ll most likely need a business account as it’s industrial paint.
Take care,
Ali
