We had talked about painting the camper all kinds of colors and designs. It was going to be painted just like a log cabin. If anyone could pull off such a huge task, it would be Bob. But then we thought maybe-white, maroon and kelly green with swirls and swishes. That was the plan, until we bought the trailer. Now we decided maybe we could do a matching set. Matching metallic car paint to glossy house paint is no easy task. But we got sooo very close.
Tuesday morning Bob decided that was the day to get started. So we set about taping off all the windows, mirrors, signs, reflectors, bumpers, lights, knobs...oh so much you don't even think about until you actually do it.
We started out with this:
And covered every little thing!
Next Bob started spraying the light gray!
Got this side!
Then more taping before the charcoal gray.
Ta Da!These pics make it look easy, but it was a lot of work. We started at 10 am. I had to stop about 2 pm because the sun was not very nice to my bare shoulders! (Duh! Sunscreen, Cayenne) But Bob worked thru the scorching sun and had no lunch.
But the payoff is this beautiful camper, neat, sleek, clean. Maybe I'll talk him into some color, flowers, smileys, peace signs, who knows. But I am sure it will be beautiful when he is done.
Our matching set!
Bonus for us: Lee and Cindy took us out to eat at the Depot! Excellent food, company and MARGARITAS!
Thanks guys!
