StandUpGuy's TTT (Not-a-RV)

Yesterday and today have been rounding edges and infilling and shaping.

This evening was adding trim along the exterior base:

This photo shows just how small my trailer really is:

Thanks Sharon. The last image is my photoshopped image of the paint scheme. lets hope the final comes out as clean. I have another coat to give it tomorrow then the detail painting. The top is silver metalic to match my TV, but as I knew would be the case the shiny paint reveals all of the flaws. Still it is not half bad.

The upper painted portion of my trailer I painted in oil based enamel aluminum metalic. The paint made a finish that rubbed off metallic fleck. If you run your hand over the surface your hand was silver. It was very bad. So I decided I had to repaint it. This time the upper half was just done in a gloss enamel dove gray.

I think I like it better than the original metalic paint.

I think I do too. It is more of a contrast. The gloss enamel is really a nice finish too. Looks like it will repell water like nobodies business.

Oops, now you have to repaint your avatar.

P.S. The trailer looks great.

Yes, very nice graphic.

Tell me more about your paint type, brand and colors, please. I have been struggling to find a paint theme that goes with my black Jeep, but that does not collect so much heat that it melts my foam construction.

Those gray tones could work well for me and, since I am planning more of a scalloped graphic, there should be no conflict with artistic license.

Wait till I change the fabric pop up to being hard construction instead. More avatar changes! Thanks for the nice words.
