Marine Blue

Yesterday I went up to Paddocks at Matlock. Click HERE for their website. After standing for twenty minutes in a drafty, breeze block spares department I finally got served and took home a litre tin of marine blue paint. They did not have the instrument panel screws I wanted.

On Sunday I found time the paint the outside of the trailer with the blue paint from Paddocks. I fitted the number plate and managed to blue paint all over the back of my hands. Next I took the masking tape off the lights and other things taped up. I had a look round the trailer an spotted that the black paint was a bit thin here and there. The did not have any of the original black paint so I used up the spray Hammerright to touch with.

I soaked the trailer leg pins with 3 in1 oils and worked them loose. They fit easily in the holes. Next was to hook up the retaining chains that will stop me losing the trailer legs pins....I hope. Then just a waft of spray paint to cover the bare metal on the chains.
