How can I paint a trailer exterior to look like a log cabin?
+2
Any great ideas on how to possibly paint a camper trailer to hopefully somewhat resemble a log cabin?🤔

Hello there, Practice this first. Paint base wood colour over your entire van. Then use a darker shade and draw lines for bottom and top of logs. Then 1/3 way on strips paint a lighter wood colour. Then use a graining tool or a dry brush to add a drain look using dark colour. Hope that helps.
Or just use a woodgrain roller. Sold at craft and hobby stores and paint shops.

I had a neighbor who got one of the canned ham trailers and painted it a light brown, then used a slightly darker brown to detail the boards and some grain pattern on it. She then added some green ivy trailing here and there, Added painted shutters. So cute.
