Thanks


Earlier this year we decided to re-paint our Cobra trailer which was
showing it's age. On advice from a professional painter we used Zinsser
Exterior Gloss. It cost us about £60 for paint, and about 3 days preparing
and painting with a roller. Looks good to me, and since then another
syndicate was impressed enough to do the same with their Cobra. A bit more
cost for the stickers of course.

David,

That's an option I've been considering as well. Looks like a good product. I have yet to find the US equivalent.

Thanks,
Craig
