Have you decided what paint to use? I've been real pleased with Implement paint (like they use on tractors). Hard as nails and very scratch resistant.
Yeah, I appreciate the motivation. I did think a lot about your trailer project as I've been working on this one. "Haugy did this in one weekend... keep pushing..." I did gain a lot by going the blasting route. But I do have a little more trailer repair to dig into before I can paint. I'm hoping to do the welding this week which include some mounts for guide poles. I made some progress this weekend in re-carpeting my bunks.

I do plan on using implement paint. I've just got to find a color I like. So far everything is closer to fire engine red than maroon/burgandy like my boat.
