I have a green 54 3100 and st Patrick’s Day parade is coming up (less than 50 days).

I would like to paint the vendors orange and the doors white using some kind of water colors that wash off. Any suggestions?

Have you looked into wraps? Might be more expensive, but less messy.

I have used rattle can plasti-dip for temporary paint jobs like that. It comes right off as long as you get a thick enough layer when you put it on. Overspray is a real bear to get off.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
