I read most everything you guys have written about painting a galvanized trailer. I hated the looks of the trailer because of minor rust spots on the fenders and overall appearance. I sprayed with vinegar, pressure washed, used a Sherwin Williams primer and 2 coats of Sherwin Williams paint. I think it looks great even if it only looks good for a few years. Thanks for the advice.

looks great

I also painted my galvanized trailer because I hate the look of galvanizing. I did 1 coat of Rustoleum cold galvanizing, 1 coat of Rustoleum tie coat primer, and 3 coats of safety red
