Wow! That really looks good. I'm sure you will be happy with the Behr paint.

Nice job, I'm getting ready to paint a m105 with Behr. Did you thin it when you sprayed the inside? How about a picture of your cup holder?

Ill get the cup holder when I get home, just took off the cover of an ammo can, inserted two big magnets some foam with holes cut. Did a club ride today 20 plus miles, not a dropped spilled! lol

Very easy, made the foam even with the top so we could put it on and close it or take out the foam to carry a tool here or there! But Mostly, it's a cup holder! Made it to fit Fast food cups, so a can of whatever sits in nicely!

It's made with 2" rubber type foam so it handles water and doesn't break down, 2" base, then spacer, then cut round holes for the cups in the top layer 2"+/-.

I just cut it to fit the can, cut out the holes and dropped it all in. The magnets are under the base of the can, tried them in the can but what I had wasn't strong enough to keep the can from moving around! One could also bold it down, but we chose to be able to remove it for whatever reason!

Like I said, it worked perfectly and was a lot cheaper then anything sold on the market! Ammo can I had, foam came from something! LOL

Thanks for seeing it!!

Glad y'all liked what we've done!:)

Sorry two.fiveM35, it's been some time, but for info purposes, I think I missed the first part of your question. We have I think it's Wager Latex airless sprayer, it has it's own pump motor(looks like a small vacuum cleaner), no thinning required! Stir, pour into the cup, and have at it! It is perfect for this kind of paint!

Sorry I missed your question, hope your trailer worked out!

And, so far the Behr is holding great, only issues are where the Canvas Ropes tie, the paint pulls off a bit, but VERY cheap and easy to touch up!
