Thanks

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

I painted my trailer earlier this year with Lechler 2 pack paint that is
designed to be applied with a brush or roller. The results were very good
and the paint was reasonably priced, around £70 if I remember correctly.
As with any paint job though, the key factor is the preparation.
