re-painting the trailer parts


Once the framework had been prepared and primed, the metalwork was coated all over with metal paint. This included the mudguards, wheels, and framework. I chose silver and gold metal paint and I think this looks good.
I bought Ronseal Metal Paint. But I could have chosen Hammerite paint which is very good. I also used a paint brush to apply the paint. Some of you may prefer a roller. Both are good. A roller leaves a thinner coat of paint on the metal than the brush. As protection is the aim, I prefer to use a brush for a thicker coat of paint.
Be accurate when painting. Make sure all the metal is covered by paint. Take your time when applying the paint. The overall finish will be so much better if you have made the effort to apply the paint well and it is neat.
