Painting project
Leroy,
Thanks. My paint is pealing in places right down to the galvanized surface. It would seem that I really should get down to that and start fresh when/if I actually do start painting. I may do the Front and rear, then think about the sides and roof. In the North East the weather just isn't stable enough for planning a big paint job.
