Snow

Well the simple thing here is to find a nice big deep mud hole and drive you
J**P through it doing about 60 mph with the trailer connected... the
ensuing splash and "shlup" of spraying mud should cover about 70% of the
trailer, repeat until it has that look you want, then don't ever wash it
again.. :-)

I'd check out a local auto painter. You might be able to get a skuff-n-shoot
done for $100 or so. But you have to do all the prep work.

Prep work is 90% of the paintjob.

Hi Sandman,
The Pep Boys out here carry a whole wall of the full sized spray
cans, but if your trailer has any size at all and you want to paint it
inside and out, it'll probably take a gallon, try an auto paint store
and have them mix an exact match. I like the enamel and hardener sold by
Sherwin Williams, it's easy to paint without runs or that orange peel

its really gotta be rattle can. work trailers dont stay "pretty" for very
long, and i dont want to have to worry about scratching it because id have
to take it back to get it touched up as needed. if i can find a rattle can
thats a close enough match, problem solved.

I'd probably just let a professional paint it with a good
tough paint if it were my business.... say an epoxy job.


The dealers carry small cans of matching paint if money
truly is no object. The local parts guy is honest that they
are much cheaper down the street at Kragen, etc.

And if money truly is no object, what are your feelings
about adopting someone old enough to be your grandfather? >:-)

while that sure sounds fun, keep in mind that sitting on the trailer will be
a $3k - $20k welding machine that doesnt play nice with mud.
