M101 CDN Expedition Trailer Purchased - Now to Personalize

Thanks for the opinions guys. Very valid points. I do like the tan, but think that color matched would look better. Then there's the discussion between aesthetics vs functionality cost. The current paint is good, but has rubbed off in a few spots on the lid. It would need touch up at the least.

Since it is below freezing here and I have no heated shop to do the painting... would have to have it professionally done if I did go for the paint match option.

Anyone know even a very very rough idea what it might cost to get it done at a shop?

If the paint is still decent keep it tan. That way I'm not the only one in the non-matched M101 CDN club. :friday: At least until spring/summer rolls around and it becomes easier to find somewhere to get it sprayed. you guys and your easy color matches. I wasn't about to order a bunch of 4k1 (Toyota Beige Metallic) so I just copied Brent's trailer with a rattlecan tan color I liked. Reminds me of Magpul FDE :ar15:

colour match is cool but with it being winter in full swing ..left it till spring but if you see some rust hit it with a wire brush and a good primmer

Thank you everyone for the responses. She is going to stay tan. I decided I'd rather use the money to improve functionality over aesthetics. Maybe down the road. :)

I still need to invest in an ARB Fridge.

Good call man. I am popping for a Dometic in the new year (ok maybe in May ish). Can't wait to not have to mess with ice.
