The previous owners had taken good care of this trailer and the original paint job had already been painted over, so I didn't really know what colors were used or the pattern. I decided to do something different and fun. I first used the Extreme Bonding Primer from Sherwin Williams--great stuff and then painted the whole trailer white--with Sher-Cryl (the marine grade paint--excellent for outdoor/extreme exterior conditions). It goes on so nice. We've had nice weather, so I have enjoyed being outside.
