    Painting parts of trailer what paint to use ?

    Hey guys, I want to paint the under parts of my boat trailer because of light rust here and there on the trusses. What paint is best to use ? I will be brushing it on as to not get over spray all over the boat, The trailer is gloss black.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the response, I see they have a few different kids. Would the Professional one be better or just get the regular stuff ? Thanks.

    Rustoleum oil based paint with a hardener added. Tractor Supply and Lowes/Home Depot sells it.

    You can get the brush anywhere. I was not looking for a great finish just wanted to make sure I covered all parts.

    If the rust is really bad, clean and use this as a prep, also sold by Rust-Oleum

    Brush the area then use a (dry) 3/16" white roller cover to remove the brush streaks. It will come out like you sprayed it.
