Undercoat


Today we opened up the Fence Asphalt paint from Tractor supply and painted the chassis. The stuff is thick, gooey, and gets all over everything if you aren't careful. We painted outside so the fumes weren't bad and I wore latex gloves to keep the paint off my hands.

Note: This paint requires 24 to 48 hours for drying. It appears to me to be "reacting" to the primer we have underneath it and is getting a "crackle" appearance to it. Fine for underneath the trailer.... but I would recommend keeping this stuff off the tongue of the chassis and anywhere else that isn't covered by the trailer.

Thanks for the warning on it lifting paint. I'm getting closer to having my new (old cutdown) frame ready to coat so will paint it with the fence paint first and over coat with something else later if necessary.
