Painting project

[Gardner Yeaw]

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.

lubricant anywhere nearby. Fisheyes will be the result. Just do not
have that stuff in the shop.
