Painting aluminum glider trailer
I painted my trailer with white two part epoxy paint. It was about
$110 for two gallons (a gallon each of part A and part B). I went
through about 3 gallons total. I mixed the first two gallons together
and when that was gone, 1/2 of each of the other two gallons. Thus I
have some left over. I put it on with a short nap roller. Looks
great.
You can't generally find this at the big box stores and have to go to a
paint only storefront that the trades use. Epoxy paint can be sprayed
but cleaning up the sprayer afterwards could be tricky.
Funny story: the counter guy at the store admonished me to not mix the
two together unless I was ready to paint. No duh. Apparently a guy
came back to the store after buying some epoxy paint holding a bucket
of now quite hard paint with a stiring stick permanently stuck in the
middle of it and wanted his money back. Uh huh, yeah, sure. Read the
label dude.
