Penman Trailer Build (What Colour?)

Boo71506 · Apr 29, 2021

Hi, I am currently building a top section for my penman trailer. So I can put my tent on it. It's made from steel frame with aluminium sides.

I am not sure what colour to paint it as I am planning on selling it. Not sure if I should keep it all Nato Green and repaint the penman itself. Or go for a normal universal colour like black? And have it all one colour.

What are your thoughts?

Put a sheet over that window before you do any grinding, that's my first thought

+ 1 to the above unless you want rusty bits stuck to the windows, seen many a car window wrecked like that

I don't grind next to the window anyway. But will keep that in mind

Surprising how far the sparks can travel & still be hot enough to stick in glass....

This is a touchy subject for me. The house next door was being renovated and they got some dodgy roofers in who cut the cast iron gutters off with an angle grinder. This is a 3 story house and my car was about 10 ft away from their house so about 30 ft for the sparks. Trashed the roof and rear window, covered in tiny imbedded iron flecks. Roofers did a runner anyway and I put it through the insurance - £2k. They really do go a long way!
