pjcnlv Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I have the second deck on my Carson RV Special and now need the entire trailer painted. Can you all make recommendations for a good painter in the Las Vegas Valley? Thanks Quote
dunefreak Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 What part do you need painted? The wood deck? Or the whole trailer? Quote
pjcnlv Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 What part do you need painted? The wood deck? Or the whole trailer? Thanks for the quick reply! The wood deck is not that important. The main part of the trailer is silver (one coat Carson version). The second deck is bare mild steel (no rust). I want to paint both light gray which should be close to the original silver color. I will post an image tonight. Quote
dunefreak Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Hmm. I was gonna say just rattle-can it, but maybe a place like a one-day paint place could to it pretty cheap and a lil better quality than spray paint. I can ask a couple friends of mine that do paint work on cars etc. I'll get back to you if I find someone. Quote

pjcnlv Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 Way too much to rattle can! I'd like a shop to blast the trailer and paint it right. Here are a few pictures. I have one more evening of cleaning up weld slag and stuff and it's ready for the paint shop. Click on the attachments. Also, on second thought, I'd like it painted dark gray or black. A light coat on the wood is fine. It's already crap and will be replaced in a year or two. Quote
dunefreak Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Yeah that would be a bit much to rattle-can! Let me ask one of my buddies tomorrow. Quote
Don29palms Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 How about just using an airless like a Wagner Power Painter. I've painted various items with mine with great success. Quote

I might try that if the normal paint opportunities get thin. I am thinking that there has to be an industrial paint shop in LAS that can do this. Quote
b370 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 pjcnlv: If you cant find anyone to shoot it let me know. Do you have anyone that could blast it? And do you have an air compressor and an area to shoot it? At worst I am almost sure I could come up with a place to shoot it, I'd just need it blasted. To give you a little background, I'm a paint rep for PPG, and have been painting for too many years. Materials and colors would not be a problem. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 hell we just gave ours a quick sanding knock all the rough sh*t off and went right over the top... Looks good to me.. its a trailer its gonna get beat to hell so it doesnt have to be perfect.. We also shot ours outdoors just had to wait for a day w/ no wind/rain etc.. Quote
