If you want something that is strong and should never rust again (but dosn't look like car paint) use POR 15. You can paint it on with a brush and it self levels. just google it and you will find a website.

Yeah im Thinking of using POR 15 on my air comp trailer, but its only a primer isnt it?
Also if your talking about a normal trailer have you thought aboout tyhat spray on ute liner for the inside?

Hammertone (insert your fav color here). Super tough and doesn't scratch easy.

Hammertone is okay, but 90% of trailers released are sprayed with it and they all end up bloody rusting, go for a good zinc rich primer if your going down the hammertone road, hammertone isn't all that tough either, well it varies between brands but yeah.

For the record I manufacture industrial paints which includes hammertone, primers floor coatings, fridge paints we even made the black thermosil paint for holden last year, well some of it.

we are currently doing a mates trailer at work and we are using a zinc rich acrylic primer with a polyurethane top coat (black)
