In Search of the Perfect Hue...
Today's challenge is finding the perfect paint color, in a paint meant for farm implements, so that when we've gone to the trouble of sanding, scraping, priming and painting, the result will be awesomely attractive through many, many camping trips.
That's not quite as easy as we first thought. Thanks to a wonderfully helpful website--Good Stuff--and his post on painting travel trailers inexpensively, we have lots of ideas about how to paint our Mobile Scout ourselves. Right now, hubby Mark is spending his day off looking at paint colors at Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, etc. because, no matter how great your computer's graphics, you can't really pick the perfect color from a screen. We're leaning toward either white over teal with black accents or silver over teal with white accents. More later...
And while hubby's at it, he's also in search of new trailer tires. The current Diamondback 195/65R15 tires are in fair shape, but he'd like a taller profile. I'll leave that decision to him, what I know about tires fills a shot glass.
Here's today's photo share...our nine year old Ratty, Happy, learning the scents of Sweet Melissa.
