Ain't this the same trailer yer looking to use in sub-0 temps?

How about the darker brown for the body itself? dark colors absorb warmth??

then it wont look so bad against yer black frame...

or just winter camo it...

I like the look of your trailer now but if I were to color it, I would probably go with a dark brown. Looks good!!
On a side note, I'm working on a stove of my own, inspired by your model you have been working on.
Happy hunting!!

I'm glad to hear you're going to use a different color. I've been thinking about using the brownstone color and was wondering how a trailer would look with a Uniflex color on it.

I'm not sure uniflex is available in anything other than white, (in spite of what the webpage says.) When we talked to the Rot Dr on the phone, the only color he had at the time was white, and I never thought to ask him why; because white is what I wanted anyway.)

You might have to try one of those epoxy paints that was discussed in another thread.

P/B,

Let us know how it looks...
I'm betting the Tan won't look too bad against the Black...
plus how is the uniflex to work with? thinking about using it on mine...(when I get to that stage)
as per your other thread... Sweet looking tear there... good job...

If you do anything other than a tan camo color scheme, I will be disappointed. That thing is so mean looking it looks like it should be towed behind a hummer. Very well done, PB.

Really good looking back-country tear, Powderburn! :thumbsup:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
