bradleyheathhays Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just bought a nice little 6x10 covered trailer and it's got more rust on it than I'd like to see, but I think it's treatable. I could do some sand blasting on it if that's what's needed. Open to your advice about getting the rust off and coating with some kind of protectant. I like the look of the original metal so I'm hoping I can get away with just blasting. The trailer was made in 2002 so it's taken a while to grow the rust. I probably won't have the trailer more than a few years so I'm not wanting to fix this rust to last a lifetime or anything. Thanks ahead.

wingless Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Lots of people use those rust conversion coatings. My preference is instead to sand away the rust (or blast in your case), then paint w/ Rustoleum Professional paint. I would use their primer, then their top color paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should last long enough for your needs, subject of course to wear and tear from usage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
