There must be an easier way to.......

[Jessie The Jeep]

........paint the bottom of my flat bed trailer without ending up like this!!

 

I managed to scrub the paint out of my hair with a thinners soaked rag before it set into several hard lumps, but the paint soaked through my T-shirt and I now have an olive drab camo left boob!

You can never find those girls doing the Vanish demo when you need them ....... :-D

You can buy disposable overalls that include a hood. Bought a couple at a show earlier this year at £1 each. Might be some at W&P?

What colour's the other one? If you paint them the same then who will notice!! You could become a trend setter, I went out with a girl who looked like a red setter! :-o

If it's any consolation - you'd now fit in nicely with those bike riders we saw in London over the pageant weekend!! Were some nicely painted boobs up there too - although of the female variety........

[Jessie The Jeep]

Following a scrub with a thinners soaked rag and a shower, most of the paint has come off, but there is still some that seems to have bonded itself to my skin at a molecular level.

 

At least it should stick well to the trailer!

Paint the other boob in a random black Dispersed Pattern and your man-boobs will disappear as if by magic.

sign of a good painter, getting engrossed in his work. :-D

 

I once tipped tipped a paint kettle of red paint down my front when it tipped of some step ladders, had a red streak from the front of my head right down to my boots.

 

Lass in the office thought I'd been attacked! :-D

Hey! they aren't that big yet!!!!! I'm not even a size that would require a trainer bra! But camo is probably something to keep in mind for future years!

Did you think of turning it over? :evil:

If I had a crane handy, I might have considered it. As it was, I had it on ramps. It was my flatbed trailer I was painting, not a little Jeep trailer, and that is somewhat larger and heavier!

[Tony B]

AH-HA point taken!! Its a shame Boy Scouts stopped doing Bob a Job week.

If it's any consolation, I was once present at the site of where one of our troop's UN Ferrets had rolled off the edge of a narrow Cypriot track onto its side. (Pleased to report no casualties.)

 

All UN vehicle were painted gloss white and had large flourescent blue UN stickers plastered all over after a softskin carrying Australian Civilian Police (AustCivPol) attached to the UN were napalmed on the road between Nicosia and Larnaca sometime around the time of the 1974 war.

 

This Ferret's underside was quite clearly Olive Drab and no attempt had been made to paint the belly plate, though the wheel stations had been painted.

 

Your choice: a thorough job or a realistic job?

There was a Land Rover off roader painted fluorescent yellow underneath. when I asked the owner why he just grinned and said' Well you'll find me in the ditch'.
