A veteran horse friend told me today that this is wider and taller than a standard 2 horse trailer and I got a great dealman that helped me feel better about my choice. I also painted the roof flat section in middle white to reflect the heat and sun keeping the inside cooler for the horses.
I did a trailer that way about 10 years ago and the paint is still looking fine dark green.
How to paint a rusty horse trailer. Remove loose pieces of remaining rust and old paint by rubbing it with sandpaper. Cover the edges of the window with painters tape to avoid painting the windows. Use your paint roller to cover the large surfaces of the trailer with primer and then use the half-inch paintbrush to prime smaller surfaces and corners.
Allow the primer to dry. I Painted My Horse Trailer With Rustoleum Paint - YouTube. Because you can paint Rust Doctor over rust and paint you will permanently stop all rust on the surface and prime the converted rust and the paint.
You can then apply a top coat of any color or any kind of paint. We would recommend a good quality industrial grade paint. Your local paint store can advise you on the best paint for strong wear.
Took 3 gallons of tractor enamel paint on the exterior and 3 gallons of white on the inside. I like the roller as it gets more mils of paint thickness. I also painted the roof flat section in middle white to reflect the heat and sun keeping the inside cooler for the horses.
The trailer is a 14 stock trailer and hauls 3 horses very comfortable. Wash the trailer by spraying it and wiping it down with auto soap mixed with water. Be sure to remove any dust created when you scrubbed away the rust as well as any dirt grease or other debris.
Step 4 Dry the trailer with a soft clean rag and let it sit for a few hours to air dry completely before beginning painting. Painted 3 coats of Rustoleums rusty metal primer. Then 3 -4 coats of their premium gloss black paint.
Looks like a new trailer. So far so goodMan I am glad I didnt buy the POR-15. Then 3 -4 coats of their premium gloss black paint.

Auto paint places cary it. Hmmmm just MHO here but wouldnt want to encapsulate any rustat least i wouldntthose paints do cover well but do not stop the rust from spreading too welli currently have a trailer that i tried this sort of paint onguess what the rust is still there and is worsenearly cancerousdont try to cheat just get out there and do the work neededsandblast is great a wire wheel good option tooif. I had thought about painting the trailer white because it would look nicer and be cooler in the summer but a friend who had painted her steel trailer white convinced me not to.
Any area that will chip off the paint. Hinges etc will show up rusty and those areas would show up easier on a white trailer I used OSPHO after sanding as the rust preventative of choice. When I bought the OSPHO.
I did a trailer that way about 10 years ago and the paint is still looking fine dark green. It was an old rusty boat tilt trailer. I did some cutting and welding to reconfigure then painted it.
Pressure washing after the wire brushing would be a good idea if it will dry quickly. Using a narrow roller would help with the speed on painting. I used a roller cover long nap on a stick.
