Thank you for all the kind comments my friends. Dawn, I'm glad you approve - I wish you were bringing Jahmbi down too.

Now I'm getting somewhere, got the outside of my trailer painted! I suckered my brother Greg into spraying it for me (he's a good brother). He is much better than me at the "manly arts" like auto body repair, welding and construction. He did a good job - good coverage, no runs, drips, orange peel, overspray, etc.

You like my high-tech paint booth? :lol: I used epoxy primer and single stage acrylic enamel paint. It's not the very best paint around but it's much better than rattle-can and I won't be entering in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance anyway.
I count about 77 days to Mojave Oasis, I'm about done with the major work I wanted to get done - the rest is just fluff. I do still want to put some Formica in the back kitchen area. But probably won't be cooking for Mojave Oasis so I'll just paint there now and Formica at some later date.

Before & After


This trailer was built by my brother Bryan who passed away in 2010 before he got it finished.
I think Bryan would approve :)
