----- Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and leaving such a nice note! It was a dirty job but it turned out nice! Thanks for watching and take care!
Your trailer at the beginning looks almost exactly like mine! I'd like to know: What liquid did you use on the roof of the trailer with the brush? Did you prime it? What kind of paint did you use? If you could do something differently, what would that be? Thanks. Your trailer looks amazing!
----- Thank you for watching our video! Hard to work and film with one hand though! The video shot of the top of the trailer was after I sanded/power brushed the entire exterior of the trailer and was using a scrub brush and water hose to rinse the dust off before primer paint. I used (Rust-Oleum 7769502 Protective Enamel Paint Stops Rust, 1 gallon, Flat Rusty Metal Primer) it took 3 gallons to cover the entire outside of the trailer. I used automotive bondo to fill in any holes and to make it look cleaner. I also painted primer on the interior side of both doors. I bought this trailer for $425 as is, as you see in the beginning of the video. After working on it for almost 2 days, I sold it for $1,700. I made a quick $1,250. I bought it to flip which is what I do for a hobby.
@@jp3eku Thank you so much for your reply! We bought a home made horse trailer, it was made by a professional welder and is well made and solid. But when they painted it, they used the wrong type of paint (not for galvanized metal) the paint completely peeled off and the galvanized coating with it. After changing hands a few times. It looks pretty awful. But I see the potential in it! Especially after watching the transformation of your trailer. Thank you!
This was a flip, I painted with heavy rusty metal primer for the next owner to paint it any color they wanted. All the hard work was finished. If I painted it after it would've always been the wrong color for the next owner. If I would've painted it white, they would've wanted red. This way they can paint it to their color of choice. Sold in 1 day.

I got new flooring in mine and it’s a bit rusty and I haven’t been able to detest it but I’ve been spray painting it a bit it makes it look nice
Yeah, they're a lot of work. Next time I would have put down diamond plate steel with rubber mats and been finished with it forever.
Not sure which I enjoyed most, you painting 🎨 the trailer or the beauty of your farm.

Was it sandpaper you used with the grinder? What specifically? I tried to find it in the comments but not sure.
Just a simple wire wheel from Harbor Freight. Make sure you wear googles and leather gloves, it throws tiny metal wires when it gets broken in...
@@jp3eku thanks for the tips!
I am pretty sure that my horse trailer is that exact same trailer. I think previous owners added living quarters to it.
What kind of grinder wheel are you using?
I was using a Hitachi and a cheap Harbor Freight grinder... they both really helped!

Before: rusty trailer
After: shiny-ish rusty trailer
So true.

I plan on building a tack room in it and stuff like that it’s a bumper pull
What size trailer is this and how many gallons of paint did this take ?

A delta trailer?
No clue... I bought the entire trailer for $400 then I sanded, painted and sold it for $1700.00
What type of paint roller did you use?
I just used a low nap 1/2" roller cover, I believe
