Default Painting Graphics

I am in the process of painting my 12' x 102" enclosed trailer. I have painted it burgundy. Next I painted large shadded Block letters Polaris (5' by 8" blue and white) and Ski-doo (yellow, its for my sleds also) with crossed checkered flags between them. I am just now painting a large 4' by 2' graphics on each side of a quad following a trail that leads over a cliff. Does anyone have any words of wisdom concerning painting graphics?

Sounds to me like you got it pretty well good and figured out. But I would LOVE to see some pics when you are done.

Hello paulzaho. You have a good point, I need to post some pictures. I just haven't made time for it. By the way, thats a nice quad hauler on your pickup. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have about 50 or 60 hours in already. It is much more time consuming than I thought. One question I have is does anyone know what would be the best clearcoat to use to cover an oil based enamel.

Thanks for the nice words Yea, I like it for now. I live in a condo and can't have a trailer, so this fits nicley into my tiny garage. As far as clear coat goes, I can't help you, I fix cars mechanicly not bodily.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] But theres got to be someone here with knowlege of that stuff. Good luck, and get some pics up soon.

I think painting something like that is in poor taste . Try reading the posts about being careful while riding .

Excellent point Don49. I hadn't considered that when I posted. I should have explained it better. The graphics shows a cartoon of an ATV going off a very steep hill or cliff. A sign saying "Course" is pointing down the hill showing that the trail clearly leads down. I view it more as showing that sometimes ATVs follow extreme terrain, rather than ATVs indescriminately flying off of cliffs. The rider of the ATV is wearing a full face helmet, goggles, gloves and riding boots.
I apologize to anyone who might have been offended by my post. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
Have a great day.
