yes-maybe-- the way that it opens - it tilts forward- so cooler would have to be quick connect somehow (maybe just a bungie cord in a rack to hold it) cuz it has to be taken off before I can open it. If so then Ill paint it to match.

 

First time I painted plastic so I learned a lil there- plastic paint was $80.00 a quart and took almost all of it just for the car carrier part. The 2 colors match the bike pretty close but the pictures dont show the contrast as well as it really looks

 

I think I will also add interior light that can be clicked on when trunk is open. I also have a couple of HD lights Im trying to find a way to add.

Also I have another light that I want to attach to the rack that will match the light on the bikes luggage rack.

thought maybe the double luggage rack and matching lights would help tye the whole thing together

$80 for the plastic paint.... How much overall, do you think?

 

I have a friend who does RhinoLining... truck bed linings. I wonder if that is a reasonable alternative?

 

The forward opening is a bit of a drag.

$80 for a pint-- 1 pint of the pearl white (good paint for painting plastic) and 17 dollars for a quart of Plas-stix (alternative to mineral spirits for preping the plastic) and I got some good metal paint (1 pint) for the Tan- $34 total of $131 for paint. The plastic paint comes ready to spray tho-- no thinning or hardner needed.

Speaking of rhino coating-- I did my truck bed last year and its pretty pricy too. I did it myself and got a real nice job done. 1 thing for sure is the rhino coat is tuff stuff- not sure if ya can put it on plastic tho, and its very hard to get off your hands- lot like tar- but seems to be holding up great in my truck

That looks great Hazen! I was waiting to see how it turned out. You should be real proud of the job and I know you'll get lots of miles out of it

Looks sharp. Better than mine by a long shot. Of course I was just going for function over form. The trunk rack mounted on the lid is a nice touch.

 

FYI... those nets found in the trunks of a lot of cars work great if you put one inside the trailer. They also work great to hold things down on top of the trailer when needed. I also cut one down a bit and it works great for holding down groceries and other stuff on the back seat.
