My trailer is a 65 Shasta. I love the Shasta z stripe but is this type of paint job considered a big no no in the purist world being that it’s not the design for this model?  |

I say it's your trailer, paint it as you like. I actually like the trailer in the photo, is that what you are considering?

I love the z stripe but I don’t think I want black. Leaning towards a sage green color

Did they redo the inside using birch (which isn’t on the 65)? There are several members who have used birch, and then at least one who did a z stripe as well. As other, wiser folks have said... it’s your trailer, do what you want!

I really like the one you painted with the small gap and then the pin stripe above the z. I think I like it better than a polished one. |

nccamper I want to edge my strip with black. Could I do this with a rattle can, then tape it off to paint upper and lower, and if I did, how long would it have to sit between the enamel rattle can and the tape?

Could I do this with a rattle can, then tape it off to paint upper and lower, and if I did, how long would it have to sit between the enamel rattle can and the tape? I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I would call the manufacture of the paint and ask about dry time. My guess without knowing the exact details would be 24 hours wait time |
