Trailer progress! (getting closer)

[parkerdog]

I finally made a little progress. I'm running out of nice weather and need to get the boat out of the water.
Anyway I got the por-15 rustproofing on now to shoot some primer on it and paint it red.

How many times did you have to clean your brush only to find out you missed a spot or two! It happened to me several times. I think if I ever do it again a cheap spray gun will be my solution. I wasn't trying for a perfect finish anyway so a lower cost spray gun probably would have done just fine, and been quicker!

I used a 4 inch foam roller and some of those cheap foam brushes as well as regular cheap bristle brushes. No cleaning just pitch in the trash when done painting for the day.

More done today! Tomorrow the bunks and the bow stop and hopefully get the boat out!

I'm hoping it doesn't look like a $150 trailer anymore.

I used a 4 inch foam roller for most of it and the corners and crevices used a spray can.

It has por-15 rustproofing with rustoleum primer next and ace hardware brand oil based international red with matching spray can.

Wire wheeled it with my 4 inch grinder first.

Nice work. That POR-15 is awesome stuff, and not cheap. I redid a gas tank with POR-15, amazing stuff for sure.
