I just did a buy it now for a used Hensley Arrow from an outfit called
Recreational Vehicles of Rome, GA. I snagged it for $700.00 plus shipping. I
maybe got a really good deal. Remains to be seen. Anybody know anything
about this outfit? They have zero ebay feedbacks so I am taking a chance, but I
am using PayPal to pay so I should be protected. How hard is it to match a
Hensley to the weight of the trailer? New Stinger or something else? Is it
hard to get a manual and parts from Hensley?
TIA,
Steve

Once again, Hunter displays her expertise in very subtle ways.

Note that she used "two coats of gloss, followed by a coat of satin"

This is the preferred "professional" way to do the job. Note that a satin
(or matte, or semi gloss) finish has fine sand (silica) in it to cut the
gloss. This silica also reduces the transparency of the varnish. So, if you
need to build up the clear finish to give it depth - use gloss varnish and
only a single coat of satin varnish for the final (or top) coat.

Note that this is exactly the OPPOSITE technique one would use for an opaque
(paint) finish. In this latter case, the silica increases the build of the
undercoat (with fewer coats). Thus, you would use an undercoat(s) or flat
finish (sanding well between coats) to get the desired "fill" and
smoothness. Finally finishing with the gloss top coat. Be sure to tint the
undercoat (particularly the last one) to cloely match the final color coat.
Since gloss enamel has less pigment (and more clear varnish in it) it does
nor cover (hide) as well as the flat finish.
