Easy-peasy. Nice texture.

Man that looks awesome! How much material did it take?? Any idea how much sq footage you had to cover?

It's a five-wide teardrop 10' long and 4' hight.

I bought the two-gallon kit.

I don't know if it applies to Monster or not, but I believe some of the other DIY liners had issues with the liner cracking after awhile when applied to raw wood.
Something to ask whichever company you go with... might not be an issue, but thought I'd pass that along... if you haven't already applied it...

Well done on the trailer...

Nothing should be applied over unsealed wood. Me? I took the extra step by fiberglassing it first and then primed it. Monstaliner says you can seal with a gloss oil-based polyurethane.

It’s so interesting to read the different requirements from one vendor to the next. Raptor liner says just 80 grit prep then spray over unsealed wood. I’m still working though all sorts of details that need to bolt through the trailer that I’ve got plenty of time to research the final product I will use.


So with that said. A couple of questions for the group. Who’s running a ac window unit built into there trailers? How are y’all venting and draining them? I’m planning building mine into a interior cabinet with an external vent but that’s as far as I’ve gotten so far.


Roof racks.... I would love to see what y’all have done. They type of items that would be up there are bicycles, kayaks, space case maybe a basket type rack for fire wood or luggage.

Door mock up is going well. The t nuts will be hidden behind clear finished 1/4 birch ply. Doors are 2 pieces of 1/2 birch ply laminated together then one piece of 1/4 on the inside to finish it all off

Household AC units are not made to bounce down the road.....but they are cheap enough that you can buy 4 of them for the cost of one Domentic roof unit

Got some color on her this past weekend. Coverage wasn’t as much as I had planned so I had to order more, But I’m loving the color and the texture.
