Step 47: PAINT
Our initial plan was to sheath this thing in aluminum but we ran into two snags. 1. Aluminum was really expensive. And 2 we really wanted to start using this thing. So my wife and I decided to just paint it. Which we we ended up loving. And if we change our mind we can skin it with aluminum later.
The first step to paint it was to take off EVERYTHING. Take off the trim around the doors, take off the hurricane hinge. I had not attached the vent yet so that was fine.
I used a high quaility exterior latex paint. Two coats. I used a cream color and I'll later paint on a fat green stripe.
Once that is good and dry, reattach all the trim and hinges. I used a squirt of silicone caulk on all the screws to make sure everything was sealed.
