Sorry, no real help but I sand blasted mine two years ago, primed and painted with an automotive paint and clear coat, and it looked shiny white for 1 season. I just repainted it with a bronzish colored rustoleum. Hopefully it hides rust for a year or two. Don't remember what brand auto paint it was.

I had a old trailer some guy gave me. I sanded it down and painted it with
Rustoleum.

Re: trailer paint advice

use the harder that you can get with that paint... depends on your spray gun if you need to thin it...I had to add about 1 oz to a QT of paint

I should add that the Rustoleum paint job cost me about $50 as compared to the first paint job which cost a couple hundred. I'm betting they last the same length of time.
