Hammertone is great. You can roll it on which will save you cash on wasted paint. It's thick and forgiving.

Hey Dom, a good coat of blue paint (or four) should keep the rozzers at bay well it works for me , I'm not exactly sure what's holding this one together but I get quite a few full loads of wood with it every year .

Haha that's like mine. Got some quarterminus from the garden shop and was pouring out while i stood there, had to take off quick so there was some left when I got home

I cut the floor out and replaced it with treated pine boards, about 20 years ago. The only good component left is the boards!

No kidding mate. The stuff these 2k costing 8x5 trailers are made of are crap.
They turn in derelict rust buckets in no time unless check and fix the appearing rust

Hi mate @GQtdauto, my apologies for getting your post mixed up with Rossco.

I was going to paint black( ), now I'm changing my mind following your advice.
Blue is the diverting attention colour indeed.
I managed to upset a local highway patrol cop by taking him to court coupla years ago and nailing him.
He tried to be friends with me as he's living just down the road, but I went into hiding 'cos I figured the non of the fourby mob here or anywhere ain't gonna like me if I"m friends with a cop.
That's why I got to make sure the trailer is attractive(sort of).

And look at the places that completely rusted through. It shouldn't do that.
Mine's the same which I patched up with pieces of sheet metal.

Unless you build your own trailer with good material, it ain't gonna last.

These are the weld joints I'm trying to smooth out as well as few other spots where round steel pipes joint each other where I didn't do a good job with cosmetic beauty even though I did a good job in terms of weld joint strength.

Actually DOM there are a few hardnut by the book cops but most of the ones I know will just give a warning depending on circumstance so they're not all bad mate , jack your fourby up 8" and remove the muffler then speed past any of them and you'd be asking for it .
I don't think this site is anti cop ( except one Northeast town) we may have the odd yokel but that's it .

Some people do have trouble from time to time ,right or wrong if you've been hardly done by the ombudsman will usually sort it out .
Not a cop not pro or anti cop but know if I'm in trouble they are the first people you ring .
Not having a dig at you either DOM just saying .

Sometimes something old can look ok just with a fresh coat of paint and not draw attention , just make sure it's sound and not about to fall to bits and the lights all work you should have no trouble mate .

Geez mate that's shockers 10 out of 10 for effort but -1 for welding ability, I'm sure you live near me mate so one day I'll show you how to do it a bit better .
If you had a TIG you could just go over that and fusion weld it to make it look better and would also make it stronger .

Sorry mate. It's an arc welder with crappy sticks and in a hurry as well(again ). (excuse excuse)
MIG welding is bit too much trouble atm with too much wire brushing & no bottle atm.
I reckon your advice to use TIG later to smooth it out is a good idea, but that means lot of wirebrushing and cleaning as well.

I'll see how it comes.

BTW, the metal I used are scrap ones with odd sizes that hangs around the backyard.

Not at all mate, I'm not anti cop & I am sure this site isn't either.
I only had a disagreement with a one as above which we sorted out.
I was joking about not being with mates with him.
