Bad324 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 So back in January I was able to pick up a 6x10 utility trailer pretty cheap. Its a new "home build" but he never painted got to painting it so I need toWhat kind of paint should I use that would hold up decently enough? Its a trailer, I don't need a perfect finish I just want it to not look like rust colored metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candybluzx6 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Go to tractor supply and get tractor paint. Its single stage so its easy to paint and holds up good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Go to tractor supply and get tractor paint. Its single stage so its easy to paint and holds up goodI'm assuming I'd need a spray gun to apply it? I'm lazy so I just wanna sand it and spray it and preferably in the yard here at work. I think our air hoses are long enough that I could reach outside too but something like a spray paint would be way easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shar2487 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Roll/ paint on bed liner works amazing. It will cost a bit more than just paint but will last 10x longer if applied properly and will give the surface a textured NON- SLIP finish... Couldn't say how many times I've busted my ass on a wet or muddy trailer deck... I did my first trailer with bed liner 13 years ago and other than where it's new owner beat it up, it looks like the day I did it!!!!Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fat2fly Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Everybody is right with the above responses and all of them will work. The TSC (Tractor Supply) paint can be applied with a brush, roller or spray gun. Your results will vary. I used TSC stuff in the past and it works really well. If you're using a spray gun to apply it there is an additive TSC sells that you will need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossi419 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I would go with the tsc stuff as well. Just take your time and spray it lightly. It will really want to run on a trailer. Just light coat let it flash and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Have it blasted, then chrome dipped.....done I'm far too cheap for thatJust gonna sand it down and find some roll/brush on stuff to make it easier. Probably end up doing this in my garage and dont wanna deal with overspray and what not. Since my dad finished his GTO he already tore down the makeshift paint booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
