My first attempt at a restoration

[macsmith777]

One more post.. Are there recommendations for polishing it up? Just a buffer, like for a car? The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of adding a full 3rd coat, while I have her turtled. Thoughts?

Most including me left well enough alone and stopped at 2 coats rather than tempt fate.

Keep up the good work. Like most of us, you are the only one that will notice most of these small blemishes.

Alrighty then, these are the finished paint job (exterior). No more after these, promise! Now I have to do the trailer so I have somewhere to put her when flipped over. It's a bit fugly, so it will take a bit. Replacing the bunks (I was told Trex deck makes excellent contact point) and stripping rust, repainting, etc. I hope I can accomplish this in a week or so, and then get the gang over with bribes of beer to re-flip.

Thanks for looking guys, and if anyone has suggestions or comments, fire away! I am totally winging this whole thing!
