Quesion: I own a 2009 Solo and I would like to paint the exterior walls. Do you recommend painting the exterior body, (not the fiberglass top)? Can you recommend the type of paint I should use?
Also, can you suggest what can be used to fill the cracks? I just noticed a rather large crack on the bottom of the ramp, above the licence plate.
My thoughts...
I'm not sure about the best paint. Some lowes stores have good paint people, but you might do better at Ace or True Value. I've had good experiencew with Sherwin Williams, but that was mostly with house paint.
Maybe even a boat dealer or a body shop could help you. Whover it is I would them to walk out to the trailer so they can see what the material is before they offer a suggestion.
Filling cracks is a good question. I haven't had to do that on my trailer, but on other projects envolving plastic products I've had really good luck with JB Weld, sold at auto supply stores. I have been using clear, but they may also make white. It's epoxy so you have to do it in small batches because it cures quickly.
If you just want to get it sealed from water you could use any good silicone caulk. You can get it in white or clear in tubes from something the size of a tube of toothpaste to something you would use in a caulking gun. Ace or True Value always have that stuff.
Send pics of what your trailer looks like and then again when you're finished.
You can always call most any time if you want to discuss something.
Happy Trails!
