I'd sand the heck outta it and seal it w/ whatever will stick [might not, cuz of previous petro oil], then put the skid strips back on and paint it however you'd like - think it was body color originally Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 40 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: May 2004 Posts: 40 | i will try to sand the wood this weekend and seal with poly, i would like to leave the metal strips in place they are in great shape--------thanks
