Pics of HF trailer after painting with VHT SP402

I had a story already in print about how this got from Silver to Gold to BRP Cognac (VHT SP402), but the site decided my commands obviously weren't right for attaching pics and deleted the whole thing before I could send it.:banghead::banghead: So, in short, Thanks to Pete Nixon for selling me this trailer and bringing it with him to Mt. Rainer area from Utah, and Thanks to BLUEKNIGHT911 for helping me with some concerns/procedures about using this paint. My "significant other/soul mate/all time riding partner" is also happy that I considered her request to repaint it from the Gold we originally agreed on :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: Life is good :thumbup::ohyea:
PS: sorry there are 2 of one pic here :dontknow:

Great job with that! We enjoyed meeting you for the first time in Morton, WA and look forward to a time we can tour the Olympic Peninsula together. You live in a beautiful area.

I have the same setup you have. I looked into a wrap but it was bucu expensive. More than the origional cost of the trailer. How many cans did it take to do the job? Any pit falls to watch out for? By the way, you don't mind if I copy your process do you?

Well you PM'd me that the VHT can advised 7 days …. I think they know their product best …. I think clear coat would make the color deeper and also protect the color coat ….. Mike :ohyea:

Be sure to test a small inconspicuous area with the clearcoat first. Clear it and wait an hour to make sure there is no clearcoat lift or wrinkling.

2dogs....I painted the fenders as a test and put on excessive number of coats, and it took a little over 1/2 can. Yesterday, when I painted the top of the cargo shell, being careful to apply as directed and with minimal overlap of areas, it took 2 cans. That was for 3 coats overall, 10-15 minutes in-between coats as can says. I bought 4 can just in case, but was happy with the coverage as above, so I have 1 on the shelf for any possible touchup or revision. :dontknow::ohyea::clap::yes::roflblack:

Yes, the clear coat makes the color deeper, and it protects the clear coat.

Thanks ….. but an important footnote …. this paint is formulated for METAL , so it will eat PLASTIC :gaah: ………. NOT an issue as long as you completely PRIMER paint the plastic ,,, the VHT has NO bad effect on the Primer paint …… Mike :ohyea:
