Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well a week goes by and many hours of using a putty knife and sander has lead me to a finish that I really like. The short of it is this. removed old crappy paint, re-primed, sanded some more, wiped down and used a paint simaliar to what Loader found at Lowe's web site.
First here is the paint.
Then the paint on the top.

sure hope it works this time...I sure as heck know you do too

that sounds good, I had gone and looked up several types of that paint and their msds and use sheets and they said 3/4 hrs of drying time, so it looks like ya got the right stuff this time...keep us informed on how it works out

After your first post I found some aluminum paint on a close out (one hour dry time). Couldn't resist (cheap). What did you use to skin the top with?
Thanks

HVM,

Glad it worked out (well, at least so far). After your first post, I'm thinking of using the A-paint as well. Although I have a bit more building before I'm ready for that.

Let us know how it goes.

Joamon: i used luan as an outside skin then primed with oil based zinsser stain sealer/ primer 2 coats sand between and after. Then tack cloth wipe down. I used a foam roller with the paint but, (helpful note): keep a small sponge brush handy to wipe out air pockets that form then roll over it again.
This paint wasn't as reflective as the other but hey, this paint actually worked.

Are you saying the top is painted luan?????
WOW!!!!!!

What is the brand name of the paint??

Yup painted luan 5.2 The paint is sold at Lowe's. I found in the paint section for BARN AND FENCES.
