Painting our Boler 1300

[Butsky]

This fall, my wife and I plan to paint our trailer using the roll and tip method. The lower half will be straight forward, but I was concerned about doing the upper half. This painting method stresses the fact that you must keep a wet edge when painting. The distance and accessibility of the top (roof) section would make that virtually impossible. Can't roll and tip roof and sides in one operation. Shall I do the roof "cap" section first then try to blend in the sides the best I can? Don't want to see a definition between sides and roof. Who else can relate their experience on this matter? Thanks, folks!

I did the roof first. Left the edge on the upper curve of my Trillium roof. Can hardly tell from the side. Especially in white.

Yes, I see how that can work. I just went out in the garage and had another look from my step ladder. Should work. Who's gonna' be up on the roof checking anyway?! Lol! Thanks, Chris.

Are you using paint or gelcoat?

We will be using the Interlux Brightside paint for our project.
