I am rebuilding, modifying, repainting my trailer to haul tractor and possibly sell this fall, I am doing some mods to help resale, But am stumped about what color to paint.

My truck is dark blue, tractor is green with yellow rims.

I am afraid that logical resale color is black, but been there before.

If you are tired of the standard black then try Candy Apple Red with some Yellow trim / pin stripes - very contrasting.
Red and Yellow are very appealing to the eye and are used in marketing all the time to get your attention.
Have Fun

Most equipment hauling trailers are saftey yellow. I have a 16' tandem that I haul the Bota on and its saftey yellow.

I would say black with white pin stripes. But your not to hot on black so how about pink with green poka dots. Sorry couldnt help it. Paint it Cat yellow, makes it look more heavy duty like mentioned above.

*Edit *Well after seeing johndays red trailer in the post below I like that too
