I can see your photos fine now, great job, I thought it was my computer that wasn't playing by the rules. Good to see you back.

Boo painted two coats on for the stripe. Then she painted one coat of the green. One more coat of green and the trailer goes back on the frame for good!!

Boo did the final coat of green, then pulled off the tape two days later. She did a great job!

So what do you think about the paint scheme? I personally would have left it all blue, or any other solid color with the lightning bolt she originally designed. But it's Boo's trailer, so she gets to do anything she wants. Instead of aluminum rims that I was going to use, I think I'll go with painted rims that match the stripe with baby moons (maybe even whitewall tires!).

We were just going to spot paint the trailer frame where my son did some new welding but decided it was easier just to paint the whole frame again. We will be setting the trailer on the frame in the next couple of days.

Haven't put the trailer on the frame yet. Forgot about painting the edge of the plywood under the lift. So we picked up the trailer by the window and door openings. We made the cutouts of the windows and doors the same height for just this purpose. We picked it up there before when we put it on the lift with the wood cross members. So boo and Mara finally painted the doors their two coats of the blue. They also painted the underside edge of the plywood. Oil based enamel takes a long time to dry in this region, so that is setting us back a few days. Just reserved a site for the "Dam Gathering" on April 30th, so that means that we need to get this trailer done!

Finally put the trailer back on the frame today for good. It was just Boo and I today. So we put black silicone around the outside edge of the trailer frame before we set it down. Just to waterproof even more the edge of the plywood. Then we put the doors on so Boo could continue her stripe. Once she put the tape on, she back painted the tape with the light blue, to keep the next coat of darker blue from bleeding.
