I would think you couldn't get all the Galvanizing off . I believe they dip the new trailers in the Galvanizing solution? I would think if its rusting in between the places where you can blast would still rust.Welded joints?
I seen them blast painted trailers here and work pretty good. they charged about 150 on a small trailer.
I had a car done a long time ago it was 75.oo hour just for blasting.

My trailer was in ok contition an galvinized , I did a light sanding, primer then final coat. I used Rustoeum but I just wanted it to look a little nicer. I also got rid of the rollers

For a budget minded person and under $10 .....you can always grind the rust out, then spray paint with cold galvanizing. I made a few modifications to my galvanized lift and sprayed the areas I did the cutting or drilling to, and just sprayed there. 3 yrs later still looks just like day 1. These are areas that are under water all day while out on the boat.

You Can Get All The Galvanizing Off Takes A Little Longer But Not A Problem. When I Blasted Mine I Used A 3 Coat Industrial System Zinc Primer Epoxy Mid Coat And A Urethane Top Coat That Was 10trs Ago No Rust Yet. Good Luck In Cali Epa And All.
