Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Bonnie , it really wasn’t intended to be pretty , just making darn sure the window is sealed ...The window is stout , made of 1/2" plexiglass... very secure (security) ... didn’t want ANY leaks (however small) spoiling that ...
This morning , we’re going to pull it out the Studio and give it a little “wash” (clean off the sanding dust, we do want a CLEAN surface to start priming on ) ... Pretty day in store for us .... Great weather (fortunately ) for doing this ...

I think the rain is finally moving out of our area. Good thing too. The back yard is making hay! Looking forward to a productive weekend, myself.

That was some Winter huh , and Spring’s started with a bang ... Rains a lot here anyway , gotta’ work outside when we can ... ... and then it gets HOT!!!

Well now, a little Cleaning goes a long way ... Cleaned up much better than I expected ... just a couple little rust spots on the frame to attend to ... mostly on the brackets ... Once it gets a chance to dry out , we’ll pull it back inside and prime those spots with some Rustoleum primer , then a coat of red Rusto’ enamel over that ... That oughta' do it !!! . Tape off the frame with masking tape and newspaper and we’re ready to paint the cabin ...

Bye Bye Mr. Camo ...

No More Camo ... I Kinda’ miss it already ... but the new paint will be Much Better...

T, belt sander and Big sanding block made by gluing flattened sanding belt to board ... It was messy !! TLAR method!!! ~ 2” R

Oh , and found out (the hard way) Never drop the Gripper on a weathered HF fender ... Even if you wipe it off right away , it still stains the black fender .. I’ll have to paint those for sure ...

Sorry, I meant I think it would add some zing to paint the fenders red like the frame.

Red fenders .... That’s possible ...

Got Everything primed now , and a first coat of color around the door and windows .. (the jambs) ... Just a Perfect day for painting (weather) , got my paint clothes on ( again) , and just waiting for it to get a little lighter outside ... This will be Fun !!

Hours later we return to the scene... The first and second coat of the top color has been applied .... Now curing in the Sun.

Now that it matches the house maybe you can hide it in plain sight!
