Perhaps we'll need to schedule a Michigan chapter GTG up that way.
Better yet. Indian River RV resort. Stayed there several times. They have some sites that you could put a semi in and still have room for more. Woops we are as long as a semi

The only resistance I would face would be boat launch access. At Burt we can launch and park truck right back at site. But no big deal.

added a much needed roof rack to the truck to carry bikes - the rear carrier solution didn't work as the rack committed suicide on our first trip.

Our trailer is naked until I get the graphics back on it, no more decals. Automotive paint should hold up a lot longer.

Are there shadows of where the old stickers were or did you buff it out? I'm interested in a body paint or might just re-sticker it. There's kits available on eBay but not sure how long they would last.

It's shadowed, some places worse than others. I didn't want to mess with anymore decals so it will be painted where the decals where, I'm changing colors to match the truck and eliminating so of the lettering. If I go after the spots where there was lettering with 3M rubbing/polishing compound I can get them to almost disappear.

I have the areas for the first color (Kodiak Brown) almost ready to paint and if it isn't windy Monday I will paint it.

I have a friend that owns as body shop so he will be mixing the paint, I will use my small touchup gun to spray it. I will be using a sealer, base coat and clear coat.
