Starting the side prep for paint

Since the sides are wood and we didn’t want to have the whole camper in aluminum for the our first build. It will be painted on the sides. The top half will be an off white and the lower half Red with a Z like the Shasta

I picked up a can of Tractor Implement paint from Tractor Supply in Massey Ferguson Red

The aluminum roof is 1/2″ short on each side but the new trim will cover it no problem . I decided since there was wood trim on the side that it would come off…but would need to fill the nail and screw holes So I opted to use plastic body filler to smooth out everything and also give it a nice clean edge so the trim will fit nicely over.

Notice the roof trim temporarily fitted on the roof edge. It fits nice , can’t wait to install once painted.
