painting

I'm making some more modifications to my log-hauling trailer, and also replacing the decking. Trailer is a 2016 model, or thereabouts, and has always been stored outside on dirt, under shade of trees. It's actually holding up quite well, only very minor surface rust where the old PT decking...

Well it is time to paint my house. I got a couple quotes came in about $4000-$4500 for our 1800 sqft single story house and the 650 sq ft garage. Seems kind of steep to me and I am out of money after our big addition and renovation, so I think I am going to do it myself. I have never painted...

So I got a rear blade for free that is not in great shape. Going to have to straighten some flanges, add bushings for wallered out holes, etc. Have it all apart now and thinking about rust removal and then painting. Any advice for type of paint? Probably not even going to worry about the...
