    I just finnished my trailer and I sprayed it with Rustolem Paint as well. It turned out very nice.

    If you would like to see how it turned out click on the link to see pictures of how it turned out.

    You could check out Herculiner as an option... Im currently working on my trailer, prepping it so I can apply Herculiner to it... I'll be sure to add photos once Im done....

    How did you get your boat off of the trailer?

    Either they tied the boat up to a dock (that is what I am going to do) or they did this!

    VERY VERY CAREFULY!!!!!!!!!!!

    I jacked up the transom with a floor jack and put blocks and jack stands with a 2X4 on top of the jack stand to support the hull of the boat. I then jacked up the bow off the trailer then pulled the trailer forward till I got to one of the cross members, then I lowered the boat on more blocks and 2X4 till I was able to move the jack and jack it up again. Then I tore down the blocks and moved the behind the cross member and then pulled the trailer forward some more. When I put the trailer back under the boat I just reversed the process.

    Good Luck, this is a very scarry process but if you take your time and be carefull it can be done very easly. Just PLEASE have someone with you that can call 911 if the need arises.

    use a self etching primer. it will bond better that a straight primer and last longer.
