Interlux Brightsides. I painted my whole Boler with it, thats one option. I think Ill use some of the black to paint a design on mine too. I may buy some specialty pinstriping brushes, I guess it depends on what i decide to do.... design wise.

I am in the process of preping my Boler for paint. Did you spray or roller the Interlux on?

I like the color you chose. I was thinking of a bright or almost safety yellow myself. I am also considering pumpkin orange. I am also tossing around the idea of silver. Maybe something that mimics an Airstream or Avion. <Ducking head from rabid fiberglass fans>

With the interlux Brightsides i used a rolling and tipping tech. i learned on utube. its very easy. I needed a coating that is forgiving of the novice painter. I would not have tackled a spray coating. My quest was to find a coating that even I could do and it would look good. This forum thankfully lead me to the Interlux product and how- to advice. It turned out great, thanks to the helpful posts I read here.

there is not a huge range of color choices yet I found 2 that i loved. This bright yellow and a baby blue that I thought looked so 60's beautiful.

rolling - on with a small roller tipping -- smoothing bubbles with a foam brush.

If I can paint my boler myself than anyone can.

Very nice choise of color. Very classy, now you just need to get a matching Aston Martin to tow it with!

I am looking at White for the top and Largo Blue for the bottom. Still busy sanding in between rain here in Winnipeg, but I am getting there.

I think that would be absolutely beautiful for your boler.

That is very cool. That almost matches the color of my Tow Vehicle. I was tossing that idea around too. I especially like the belly band stripe. I am going to do some variation of that for sure. I'll bet I can get the blue reflective police stripe from Gall's Police equipment. Very truly a unique set up!

Just start using wet&dry sandpaper.

I used the good old universal white "Brightsides" from Interlux. At the time it was to match up with a white Dakota PU I was using as a tow vehicle. I figured that I could always repaint half or add stripes to match a future tow. People on this forum also say that white is the best colour if you want to resale later; but we know that that won't happen.

Just put on my rain coat as the rain is the wet and the sandpaper is the dry but not for long LOL
