Stage 3 -- Restoring the Exterior

When pressure washing didn't get all of the black "stuff" off of the side, I realized I'd have to repaint the trailer walls at some point. Getting the non-profit's decals off was a challenge until I got a bottle of spray Goof-Off and let that soak in for a minute. A razor blade pulled the decals right off with minimal effort. 

It wasn't until I got onto a ladder that I realized the metal roof had rust on it. I sanded that off and started with a good coating of oil-based metal primer. I also picked up some Flex Seal and may actually consider covering the entire top with that in hopes that a rubbery surface would hold less heat than the metal roof. I also sanded and primed the wheel wells.
