Because of the "off and on" rains this week work has been kinda slow....so now was the perfect time for us to tear out the inside of our detailing rig and get some fresh paint on the walls. What started out to be a prime and 3 coats of a single color turned into a 3 color custom paint job with a ton of taping and waiting!!!









This is what it looked like when we purchased it.

Primed the entire inside after gutting it of all my equipment and chemicals

After about 1.5 hours the primer was dry and ready for the first tape off and coat of flat black on the roof and 1/4 down the side. Put about 3 coats of black on.

After the black was all done drying, I could start taping for the next color in my plotted scheme.

After all that taping and measuring, it was finally time for some gray baby!

At this point it was getting damn cold and dark, we were in the need of some paint drying asistance! Some heavy lighting and a portable heater did the job. Put on about 2 coats of gray.

After that was completely dry, it was time to move on to the high gloss Spectrum Blue! So we retaped and went at it.

After the 3 coats of blue dried, we taped again to finish off the black on the lowers. It was pretty late now so I decided to close up and let it bake for the rest of the night. I started again early morning with some touch-ups and got the floor prepped.

Here it is almost complete with the floor needing another coat and to finish off the shelf unit.

Looks great, the pics will soon be edited by a mod due to your phone number being on them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Do you find the dark colors making the interior of the trailer darker



Only when the ramp is closed is it somewhat hard to see in the evenings. However when I'm working its open so there are no issues with that yet. I am gonna do some sort of lighting system soon....
