Anyone ever tried to paint their trailer...

With the boat still on?

My trailer paint could use a do-over. Anybody tried to paint the trailer frame, leaving the boat up on the bunks? I dont have any nearby water to offload the boat in.

Don't paint it! take to you local Spray on Bed Liner place. Wil last and look much better!

I agree. Don't paint it. Use spray-on bedliner.

I redid my trailer (used to be white with rust accents) almost 2yrs ago with the boat and bunks still on it. I sanded off any loose rust, applied OSPHO rust treatment to the rest of trailer, then used Duplo spray-on bedliner. Took about 8 cans to do the entire trailer. I bought a roll of the painter's plastic to wrap around the boat and bunk boards and anything else I didn't want to get paint on. A little bit of elbow grease, but otherwise, wasn't too difficult. Almost 2 yrs later, with one winter stored outside, and the trailer still looks good as new.

Take a look at a Ranger trailer. That's what they use for their Road Armour.

I have a galvanized trailer that I would like to paint to match my boat, burgandy with cream pin stripes. What process do I have to go thru? Do I need to sandblast the trailer? The trailer is a 1995 "Magic Trailer" brand.
I also want to replace the "Rims" as they are galvanized also. What back spacing do I need to look for? They are 15" rims.

Thanks!
