[QUOTE="sturdi87, post: 127492, member: 2691"] I'm located in northern kentucky currently. Born and raised in Shelby County Tennessee (collierville/fisherville). The trailer was not only ugly but rough when I got it. I wanted it to have a little shine and look kinda new when I'm going down the highway, but to hide some of the imperfections, so I went with semi-gloss black rustoleum enamel and sprayed it on. If your new to spraying and I don't mean spray painting, remember to thin the paint, or I'm telling you, you need to thin the paint out. I bought several spray cans of the paint as well though for touch ups and such, but I covered the trailer inside and out, top to bottom with less than a quart (Note, I sanded extensively, then washed, then wiped with acetone before applying paint). Also, thanks to tractor supply, I got all new hardware for everything that was not welded down to the trailer for right around ten bucks or so, I bought a new 2" coupler, some JB weld, new safety chains, and maybe something or two somethings more on the same trip. I think taking the time to disassemble everything before painting instead of caking it on top, in addition to the new shiny hardware, will go along way in giving this old trailer a new life. I just can't wait to get to the boat, get it on the water, and catch some fish! [/QUOTE]
