Having you trailer painted..

MissCita · 06-29-2008, 09:09 AM

I'm just curious because I'd love to have my trailer painted. For those of you who have, what did it cost? What's the best way to find someone qualified for the job? I have an older logan 2H SH with a front dressing room. Probably 18 feet long..?

Not sure if you have them or a comparable, but I talked to the local Maaco body shop @ having mine done. 1 trailer is primered but needs work, and the other was a lot of bare metal. Both 2 horse's. Either of them could be painted for the standard flat rates. (399/599/799) Repairs and a 799 paintjob brought the trailer needing work estimate to "@ 1000".
The bare metal trailer I painted myself to expedite coverage, using a McCLoskey all- surface paint from & tinted at Walmart. For a DIY job it turned out ok, nothing fancy, but better than bare.
