Gave my trailer a coat of paint.

This is the trailer that goes with my Sea Mate. It was very rusty and needed help. Took it down with a wire brush on my grinder and gave it 3 coats of yellow. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/waddlep2000/album?.dir=/77c4re2 http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/4894/jan05136ia8.jpg http://img254.imageshac...
