This was our make shift paint booth. We hung plastic from the rafters to the floor on three sides of the trailer. We wanted to keep as much dust as possible out of the painting area. I also did not want to get paint on everything else in the shop. We also put an exhaust fan in the front door to help pull the paint fumes out.
I put 2 inch masking tape around the trailer where the stripe was located. I then sprayed etching primer on all the bare metal, so that when I came back and primed the entire trailer it would all bond to the aluminum siding.
The top half has been primed and painted white then covered with paper again so the bottom of the trailer can be painted it's finish color of blue-green.
The trailer has been covered with paper and the stripe has been masked off so that the red stripe can be painted down the side of the trailer. This was quite a learning process.
