[gottavecalaisv]

Hi all, just want to know the easiest way to paint a 6x4 trailer that needs a little TLC. do i brush paint it or use cans of spray whats the best?

Sand back any rusty parts, add a bit of primer then use spray paint. Brush painting would look bad.

Theres a product on he market that also has a rust treat/inhibitor in it, just spray onto the affected area and bobs ur uncle, it only comes in black.... got a hilux undercarraige (work car, my bro in laws not mine) done a few years ago, just sanded and painted, looked better than new

paint brush it for the win... buy a spray gun and use that, dont use little spray cans because there more expensive to use on a trailer that size and you could buy a gun and paint cheaper

yeah do yourself a favour and buy a spray gun. my dad just resprayed his trailer with a spray gun and it come up unreal.

I'm doing mine soon, blasting it first then primer and top coat.

I just blast any mud and crap from the trailer, wash it with detergent and use the paint, not sure what type it is though. Just brush it on thick and let it dry, there's no brush marks and the paint stays on really well
