Have an enclosed trailer painted at Maaco?

[Geneman]

hi peeps i just got a 25ft haulmark enclosed with t -bars and some goodies mechanically sound but white outside very tired.... its the older model with rivets up and down on every panel.... its mostlybjust the black streak weathering but no way will that stuff come off with anything.. tried every solvent i have in my lab.

need a quick spray anyone ever have maaco or the other quick shops do this?



thans for your opinions as always frank

Wrap it??/

[patz]

Don't see why not, unless the local air pollution weenies require it be done in a spray booth. How about a rattle can party? Or vinyl wrap it.

yeah byron did not consider that.. how much $$ does that run? even for no graphics just white or sumthin dull that will mislead the robbers.. thanks f

[patz]

Not to bad if a stock single color, labor should be low as there aren't any curves. Just don't do red, quick fade.

Dip it.

Cheaper than Maaco.

Do it in your driveway.

Looks as good as a wrap.

Change colors as often as you want or don't.

thanks very much frank

Dip it?
Cover it in chewing tobacco? Or just the spit?

+1 on PlastiDipping it. That lime green might not be a bad choice! :-)

That may look good at ten feet, but I wonder what the edges look like on closer inspection?

I've seen several dipped cars up close.

Looks fine.

I agree. They look fine, and apparently, they hold up pretty well.

Do some research on what color works the best. It seems to me I remember reading that white is not the color you want to dip it; maybe it's a dirt issue? Or a coverage thing. I can't remember. I'll try and find it.
