[QUOTE="LouEZ22, post: 342021, member: 13331"] While I'm trying to decide what to do with the interior and weather was nice this weekend... I decided to sand the exterior and prime it for paint. I was able to just use a wire wheel on my 4 1/2 in angle grider to get all the old paint off. Debated on buying some aircraft paint remover but I figured there wasnt much paint to strip anyways so I saved $40. I used rustoleum self-etching primer in what I thought was dark gray... turns out it's OD green lol While I had the boat off the trailer I wire wheeled the trailer also and used the left over primer to cover up the bare metal. I ended up likeing the color enough I went and bought another can and did the whole trailer. I kind of like the color of the primer... would it be frowned upon just keeping the trailer and boat that primer OD green???? I forgot to take a pic of the trailer but. I'm replacing the bunks, wheels, bearings, and wiring.... SO MUCH TO DO!!!!! and thats not even touching the boat [/QUOTE]
