I got a price to do mine from a place in town. They quoted me $200! I declined...I'm not in any hurry. Good luck by the way...I hope it looks killer.

Re-lining a pool, digging a gas line ditch, renovating every room of the house, building furniture, engine rebuild, etc. I get that from the old man.

I honestly don't think it's going to be too difficult. Proper temperature, surface prep, and a buddy's set of hands. If I screw it up, I rip it off, and pay my friend to do it (he actually works for a place that does it - i'd get a discounted rate. My way is still cheaper though. Unless I screw it up lol.
So how did it turn out or haven't you had time to tackle it yet?

I thought you were going to wrap yours? Did you find one that was already painted to match?

I painted mine, I roughed it a little with sandpaper then I painted it. I have done this 2 times since 2012 both times the paint lasted about 3 months before it started to chip where the bugs have been hitting it.
