Thread: Another camper trailer is born

Top work, that looks fan bloody tastick if you are still offering the plans i would love to get a look at them I'm wanting to do the same thing as you.
its probably not cheaper in the long run but its about the satisfaction of building it your self.

Started painting using a marine under coat. 2 coats and then sealed all seam joints top coat tomorrow 2 pack ( port red ) got paint from local boat shop.

Nothing like the pleasure/satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Sprayed first top coat 2 pack. had a bit of problem spaying the top coat but
will give a light sand and spray second coat Saturday.
the 2 pack was a lot harder to spray than the under coats. any spray painter out there with any tips thanks griff

Hi Griff
Im no spray painter,or welder either.But have built and painted an awsome trailer all by myself.
What sort of gun are you using???
The standard guns dont handle 2 pac at all.
I got a gravity feed gun,so nice to use compared to the standard.Low air pressure= no drift=lots of paint on the job.Cost me less than $40 from fleabay inc delevery.You just have to hunt and play,took me 2 weeks to get a cheapie!!!,WILL NEVER USE A NORMAL SPRAYGUN EVER AGAIN!!! The same gun sells for over $150 at Supercrapp!!!
I used a normal enamel with a 2 pac hardener.MOST impressed with the finish
