Yep, had the trailer painted in Hammer Coat as per trailer builders recomendations. Save $1000 over galvaniving. The trailer was $5500 to an extra $1000 did not sound too apealing at the time. He said because it will not see water, Hammer Coat will be fine and not rust.

Lasted 2 seasons before rust started to show through the lid on the box. My advice..... Go gal. The extra $$$$ are worth it.

Oh, and build the biggest box you can fit on it. This box is pretty big but there was still room to go higher and longer which I plan to do with a future trailer.
