My scratch built expedition style trailer build up thread (13 Viewers)

Got a bit more done today, we had a nice break in our weather this afternoon, so I wiped the interior surfaces down with a tack cloth and shot the inside of the tub, tailgate, and front lid with white. Cheap stuff from Sherwin Williams.

Came out pretty nice, I am finally learning how to dial in the gun and it is spraying pretty good now. Tomorrow, I will seal the seams with an acrylic sealer, and maybe sand just a bit, then hopefully Friday I can sneak out and mask the trailer and lay down the blue!

On to the pics... you know you love pics

Here is a pic of the tailgate and small box lid...

sneak out? it doesnt matter what line of work you are in, your boss should be proud of this

One of the coarser ScotchBrite pads works well for scuffing primer.....but you already know that.

Keep up the good work!

Drew, i've tried to look back through all the pages, but can find the dimension, would you mind posting the size of the frame and box?

Well, off hand, the box is roughly 24" high, 43" wide, and 6' long on top, and 5'8" long on bottom. The front box is 38.5x18" by 12" high. The frame is about 88ish inches long and 43" wide. Let me know, when it is back together and I can double check for you.

Are you going to make one too?
