[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 467170, member: 22989"] Thanks guys. Paint is Rustoleum Hammertone. I had to do a lot of experimenting to make the paint come out "Right" as the hammertone is not like regular spray. Instead of spraying it on heavy enough to get a shine, you have to go past that a bit and stop right before it starts to run. Then at that point you can actually watch the paint separate and come into the hammertone look. I stripped the entire trailer bare and went over every crevice with an assortment of wire wnheels to strip the rust and any loose paint (There was much of both) and hit it with two coats of brush on Rustoleum rusty metal primer and then 2-3 coats of the hammertone. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0612.JPG"]102331._xfImport[/ATTACH] Took me about a month total working 2-3hrs a day just for the paint and another 2 weeks for lights and bunks. I had previously boxed in the winch mount as it was only a C channel and let the bow wiggle 4-6" either way while being towed. I didnt like that at all and doing this stiffened it considerably.
