Well now the new boat is back in shape and will be residing on Leadbetter Beach in Santa Barbara from the remainder of the summer my next project is getting the trailer ready for road trips next year – needless to say I have some work to do. Along with replacing the lights, wheels, hubs, springs etc… I am going to look at cleaning off the surface rust and repainting the trailer – has anyone undergone this project? If so what have you used with regards to paint and the application process?
My initial thoughts are: jet clean the whole trailer, sand/wire brush off rust, jet clean again, and then prime and paint using the Rusoleum products. Having not done this for a while are there any other products recommended that are better that can be applied with a roller or a brush? In the future this trailer will be getting dunked in both salt and fresh water.
Use Rhino lining (a rubbery coating used for truck bed liners)- it's a bit heavy but it is a very durable finish. Zander did his that way an it looks great.
