Trailer Paint

HitchC&L

I bought a 2001 16' 10K pound Cam Superline equipment trailer on tuesday.

It is in great structural shape, but I dont like things that dont look good, I always want a clean professional image. This trailer has surface rust on a few spots on the frame. I hate that, I want to repaint the whole thing.

What is the best paint to paint a trailer with?

Ive heard that the Rustoleum High Performance metal paint is good, roll it on.

We are going to keep it yellow, although my vote was for black.

SW Industrial Enamel Alkyd. I've repainted my roommates mowing trailers with it and it is what a local trailer shop uses on all their trailers. Wire brush the loose paint and prime with steel primer also at SW.

I ended up going with a Rustoleum High Performance primer.

I wire wheeled and sandblasted the ramps down to bare metal, cleaned them with mineral spirits, and primed them.

I am going to do the top coat next weekend, and I think we are going to use Rustoleum for the top coat as well.

Id like to do the whole trailer soon, but I am going to need to use it in the next few weeks so I may wait until after that
