[A/S] painting and argosy

["joanne and jeff b." <temp4ident@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi, 
   things are coming along well in the trailer( argosy 28' center 
bath, 1976). the old ford pickup has been tested and we are in 
business as far as towing goes. i hope to get out later this week for 
a 2-3 day test run in north east vermont. the big maintenance item 
for me is to touch up the paint before the cold weather hits. there 
is a seam or two with a little bit of rust on the edge where the 
paint has worn off. i have searched the archives looking for tips but 
not found anything. i would generally proceed with using a drill 
attachment buffer and buff off the metal down to a shine. then use 
rust-o-leum spray can primer and then a few coats of the closest 
matching exterior spray paint i can find. followed in a week or so by 
a good, whole trailer wax, using regular car wax and a electric 
buffer.
   you don't have to worry about hurting my feelings... what do you 
think of this plan? what constructive suggestions do you folks have 
for the rookie???  if painting the entire exterior what paint should 
be used? 
  thanks, jeff ballou
