[QUOTE="baptistpreach, post: 78850, member: 832"] Well, I got up early and painted this morning.... and well, it turned out different than I expected. I finished any priming that needed done, and I got started painting my trailer burgundy. I had painted all the parts and was done with most of the trailer when my wife was leaving with the kids. I expected her encouraging remarks.... and then didn't say much. Long story short, my "burgundy" was more burnt red, and really didn't match my carpet like I hoped it would. I was so frustrated! My back was hurting from all the bending over, and I was just going to leave it. Trailer still looked really nice. But my wife (who knows me too well) said she knew it would bother me, and I should just go ahead and paint it black. Well... she was right. I ran some errands, and picked up a gloss black rustoleum paint, and went after it. I also picked up some cheap black aerosol paint and I started to repaint. After I finished rolling the trailer, I looked at the "burgundy" inside of it, and was pleasantly surprised! Maybe I'm crazy, but I think it looks really cool with the two colors. Plus that meant I didn't need to brush the inside of the trailer again. So I'm going with it, and my frustration and mistake turned out pretty neat. I wanted my trailer to stand out, and I think it does. Only problem I ran into was the wind really picked up by the time I put the black on, so I got some dirt and leaves, etc that stuck on the trailer, but ITS A TRAILER so I'm not going to worry about it. Here's where I'm at now, just a few small touch ups, but mostly done. [/QUOTE]
