    Gaterhide fix

    Some jackalope backed into my trailer at the parking lot and they don’t leave a note or anything I tell ya a guy can not have anything nice so they took the rear reflector off and put a big long gouge out of the gaterhide wondering if any one knows of a way to try and fix it thanks

    Look for Rust-o-leum rubber spray. Walmart or any place that sells Rust-o-leum paint should have it. Had the same jackalope find me.

    Or get some Rino Liner stuff. The trailer maker says that is all that the Gatorhyd is.

    I have Rhino liner in my pick up, I think the texture is a lot more coarse. I just used some Rust O leum this past Saturday, it's not a bad match. It's not quite as coarse as the Gatorhyde but a couple of coats blends in decently.

    Hey guys. I spoke with Claude directly about repairing my gatorhyde and he said the Duplicolor truck bed liner is exactly what they use. Just thought I would mention it if you want an exact match.

    I got under my 2016 C channel trailer yesterday to take a look around, and on each side of where the springs are attached, the gatorhyde is flaking off and a bit of surface rust has begun.
    It's in a few more places as well. Shoulda got pics but I was in a tight position. It was hard enough sliding under there.
    The top & sides look great tho. Who's gonna crawl under a trailer, anyway!

    None on mine. There was one small spot that was nicked during shipping that I fixed.
