Got the top painted and a first coat on the fenders first chance i had today.
Then it was time to shoot some Palm green.
I ended the day like this. I have to say it was a religious experience to See the PG/SG come together!
I hope to have some pinstriping done here and there. And I 'm going to add some mud flaps if I can find something oldschool looking for it. But for now it's DONE! _________________

Wow, nice work! That thing looks great. The pin stripes make it pop. I actually have the same model only its the single wheel version. Maybe one of these days I will get the time and money to make it look as good as yours. Nice job! _________________ WANTED: Henry Veale Santa Rosa plate frames

So I just picked up a trailer, How much did it cost to sandblast your trailer ?

It cost me $200. Blasting is a huge mess. I thought it was worth it. _________________

Nah I had some old guy in the area do it. I know my limits. I also had no idea that the paint I used would dry with out the hardener/reducer. He asked Me if I had any of the color left, which I did. He poured a little out on a paper plate and went to town. I was kind of excited about how it was looking so i forgot to get a picture with Him. _________________

It looks really good. Too many times folks go way too far with stripes. Your guy kept it simple and captured the lines of the trailer well. |
