Painting

Trailer with windows removed, 1st coat of Sherwin Williams DTM (Direct To Metal) Paint. Really liked the product, went on well with a 10% thin rate. It's designed for Bare Aluminum and seems to work very well. Cleaned trailer with TSP solution before spraying. We let it set for 5 days before wet sanding the trailer with 1200 grit paper. Product is a Semi-Gloss but has low shine with only one coat.

The man, 8 going on 40. Did most of the taping before the paint went on. He did a great job. 

2nd coat of paint was a Valspar Product called  Duramax. Did not realize until I got home how thick it was and it said brush or roll and no thinning. So I did what I a red blooded American man would do, trashed instructions and thinned paint. Sprayed like a dream with a 10 % reduction and a # 20 nozzle. Gunnar did the wet sanding after it sat for a week to cure. He did a great job and paint is slick and shiny for a Semi-Gloss. 

Red Slash will be added soon.
