That bottom can is no longer easy-open is it?

The trailer looks great. Nice job.

You didn't paint it to match your truck or tractor?

What's the vertical tubing on the trailer for?

The trailer was built to carry a manlift with a long boom and it rested on it, I thought cutting it off but it's not in my way at all and I will place something on it someday? yeah right, someday

Looking good.

Did you sandblast or remove any old finish before painting? What kind of paint did you use?

My trailer also needs repainting and I'm looking for ideas.

I did not get carried awaay, I ground all rusted spots and primed them with rustOleoum primer then rustOleom black paint, nothing fancy or anything like that I just painted it, it is time consuming but paint is much cheaper than a new trailer
take your time, it's hot out

Don't even think about it!

I painted my trailer to match my maroon Dodge truck, then sold the truck.

Now I drag the trailer with my green Dodge truck and look like Christmas coming down the road.

Black trailers work with any color truck. They work especially well with black trucks.

These things are important, you know? You gotta' maintain your image.
