Old Aluminum Trailer
I may have posted some of this previously, but I’ll sum it up in one post.
Last year, I bought a mid-90s aluminum trailer from a racing bud, and sold my newer steel gooseneck trailer – so I could have a trailer to take racing with my truck, and also take a couple of Harleys while motorhoming. This trailer appears to be well maintained and of high quality – but showing its age. So far on the inside, I’ve added a winch, a couple of “Lock ‘n Load” motorcycle mounting plates, and a half dozen recessed D-Rings into the floor to fit my cars.
As far as painting, I started with buying a couple gallons of Appliance White Rustoleum, and a quart each of black, red and blue.
The below photos show the tape and roll paint job.
I changed out all of the Clearance Lights and tail lights to LED. I wasn’t happy with the brightness of the red/blue stripes – so I bought 100′ rolls of reflective red, white and blue tape, and the reflective caution tape. Below is what the trailer looks like after taping.
You can’t miss it going down the road.
