I had a client drop off an old tin and he wanted a red stripe put on the side. I figured it would be a good opportunity to show you all how it is done. Below are the pics and explanations. If you have any questions, ask away. From start to finish this side took me about 20 minutes.

Sorry about the pics being reversed, I was in a rush so start at the bottom and go up.

How do you figure the cost on a job like that? Does it have to be striped down to bare metal. I have a 16 foot that was red from the top rail to the splash rail that I was thinking about having done. The strip down the side is about 14 inches wide
