Hey guys,

It is time to start back over on the trailer! I figured i would post a few pics on the progress!! I gotta say that 40% looks kinda small in there, I think a 46% ultimate would look great right beside it!!

Anyhow, I have got everything back out and now it is time for paint!! If anybody has got some suggestions let me know!! I really like the way the guys from RDRC have set there shelves up in their trailers! First things first I went to Lowe's and talked with David Hayes, and he told me to put Valspar porch and patio exterior primer and paint! That is what I got!! I also got some anti skid to put in it!! I am going to put that on the ramp door! Maybe on the floor too!!

That should work fine, I used a commercial product on mine that needs no primer. I gave you a list of products before on the RDRC thread, what you bought should work just fine tho. Just paint it on a day where you can leave all the doors open all day long, and let the primer dry for 12 hours before painting the top coat.
