Great!
The transformation with paint amazes me. You need shades 8) with that gloss.
What paint did you use and how did you apply it? What are you doing with the sides, top, and deck? Still thinking ice blue? What were your thoughts overall on the painting process?
Great work

International interthane. Its a heavy duty urethane two part paint. I sprayed it with a gravity feed auto body type gun.The color is Gardenia (basically off-white). Yeah I am definitely goin with the Blue-Ice on the sides. The top and inside walls will be the same color as the bottom. The floor I am leanin towards the same thing as Macojoe if his holds up well.
Oh the "process' you asked about. I think the process SUCKS!!!! I HATE painting and most of all prepping, makes me want to take up drinking,but hey the results speak for themselves...I Hope. ::)

Thanks guys for all the comments. MA, no I didnt get bugs in it there was a good wind blowin that day and alot of the bugs where gone. Also between that and the hot sun on it, it dried so fast that by the time the few that where around got on it, it was dry enough that it left no mark. ;D
Thank goodness for our unstable weather in the spring and our approaching cool fronts. ::)
