Was there some issues there that you wanted u to repaint it.? Paul, The paint was old and had some checking/etc, it was a 5 footer. There were some areas that needed to be repaired. I have planned for years to do it and now pulled the trigger. Edited October 20, 2014 by RS69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
