MDProwler | I bought this yellow trailer two years ago in what was described as mint condition. It was anything but. I just never had time to mess with it but about a month ago I decided it would be nice to take to Deep Creek this year. So I set about disassembling the entire trailer, painting it orange and correcting everything else that was not right.

Had the box frame sandblasted to remove the pitting of the aluminum. Then I painted it with three coats of Black Satin Rustoleum. I also wire wheeled and painted the axle.

Skullrodder | Looking GOOD Gary! A major change since the maintance days event! |
MDProwler | All the parts were painted seperately and the outside of the lid was painted last after nit was installed on the trailer.

Mr.Mcgoo | Looks great and the way you do things I am sure it is much better now even if it was perfect when you bought it. But i think you should have painted it silver... This message has been edited by Mr.Mcgoo on 06-11-2010 at 11:48 PM |
alrtg | I agree, Silver looks much better and the paint would have been much less expensive.![](http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif) |
ed monahan | He probably did paint it SILVER primer before he finished it to make it look nice. lol |
TFischer | Looks fantastic Gary!! |
cnote6 | WOW!!, That looks like you did a 10x's better job! This message has been edited by cnote6 on 06-18-2010 at 12:10 PM |
