Repainted used equipment

[JordanM]

Here it is, some of my used equipment that i bought and re-painted.
I painted the supers gray, the brood boxes bright green, the tops and bottoms dark blue and the mating nucs white in the center and blue bottoms.

The first picture is my swarm box that i pick up and throw in the truck to go collect swarms, it is always ready and assembled.

I sure hope they all get filled. I didnt feel like painting them during the winter so i got it done this fall.

They look nice. What did you do to prepare the surface for painting?

[JordanM]

I scraped then wire brushed and primed then painted them what ever colors i wanted.
