I agree with Jake,Rustoleum is the way to go in my opinion..........................................Mark

Had a hard time with Rustoleum the nozzles are s*** and they leak all over started buying Ace Hardware brand $2 cheaper and the paint seems to be better quality too in the end

I painted mine with a brush and used the flavor of the day from Tractor Supply-Valspar maybe. They look ok from 10 feet and I never had any trouble with the nozzle on my brush. LOL

I just recently bought a milk crate full of brush nozzles at a flea market... They are literally a dime a dozen lol[emoji12]

,Rustoleum with a brush smoke gray or white 2 inch brush in the sun light and a milk create.

I used tractor paint from Farm & Fleet. I used the spray cans on the rims and suspension. Then used a brush and roller on the rest of the trailer. These are before and after when I did it. It's been two years and still holding up good. I just hand sanded the trailer. Next time I think I will soda blast it.

i would recomend crushed glass whole lot cheaper than soda 265.00 a ton as opposed to 35.00 for a 50 pound bag looks real good now

Body looks good. The Grey needs an Orange pin stripe between the holes.

the 1.00 a can stuff from walmart works just fine! 20.00 bucks worth will do a set of drive axles of 10 hole budds, i only primed areas that had metal or rusty areas showing and thats been 3 years ago and they still look good! if you wanted you could clear over the paint for extra protection.
