started to sand and make the running boards for my boat trailer



then i painted my trailer with 3 coats of epoxy primer then 3 coats of auger industrial paint that shrinks when it dries....you literally need a hammer to make it come off



then me and a couple buddies went and played behind my shop and in my buddies field....(blue cummins)




ranger got a little stuck....i was able to rock myself free and reverse out the cummins on the other hand stayed there so the maroon cummins saved the day.



made it to the top on the soggy dirt mound....neither cummins could make it up.



the aftermath



it was a very eventful and successful weekend the trailer looks beautiful:icon_thumby:

thanks for all the comments but yea the paint....the rocks cant really chip it because its got industrial auger paint on it and for the ones that challenge it you truly do need a hammer.....the paint goes on 12' augers that drill in the ground and the paint lasts for around a year then starts to get ate away its some impresses stuff im satisfied....and when i did new lights i had to make all new light brackets and i milled it out so all you see is the lights i made a 25 year old trailer look new again....and the boat will look like a professional camo boat after i finish it (hopefully hahahaha)
