I was also referring to a full body vinyl wrap, which in addition to allowing you freedom of graphics choices and changes, it would also protect the aluminum from New England road and weather.
IMHO, the aluminum, as delivered, will be a bit of a nuisance to keep clean.
Think of it as colored 3M clear bra with your choice of graphics.

Mine is the one that is closest to completion! I just heard from Gayle that it will be finished mid-November. I'm excited the Pawxster will have an enclosed space to sleep in this winter.

MY AEROVAULT ARRIVED !!!!!!!!
It survived the trek from WA to MA.
I need to give it a bath and take some virgin pics although I did pop the cherry today and practiced loading my Pawxster in using the winch.
I'll post again this weekend when I get her cleaned up and take some real pics.

Enjoy it Dave.
One question.
Are you going to put anything over the aluminum? Wax or a wrap for the winter?
You should be far enough from the sea for salt in the air, but road salt will go after naked aluminum

Sweet Dave!
When do the hello kitty stickers go on it? Hey, BTW, let me know when you are headed to the Glen next Spring, since I still drive, maybe I can tuck in behind and draft my way down the Thruway...lol congratulations and enjoy!

Well it’s too damn cold today to wash the trailer so I took some dirty pics instead (hehe, took dirty pics).
Overall I’m really pleased with the trailer. I gotta say it’s pretty cool! There are two problems so far. The trailer was fairly wet inside when it was delivered. I found from water testing that there is water coming in from around the front doors so I did some silicone caulking today and will test it again tomorrow. It’s a bit annoying but I think it’s fixable. The other problem is that the builder only put 24” of wiring harness from the nose of the trailer. It won’t reach my truck so I had to put an extension cord on it. No big deal.
The winch works great and the remote control makes it a snap to load a car in a one person operation. The trailer has two dome lights in it. There is a switch located inside the front door. It looks really cool at night with the lights on. The back up lights on the trailer are also on a switch and are meant to help with loading the trailer at night.
I took the trailer out for a brief spin and it tows very quietly and easily.
PICS!!!!!

I wasn't planning on treating the aluminum and I don't think it will see any salt. Hopefully!
As for the HK graphics it's only a matter of time!
