best bang for your buck trailer paint
 
My boat trailer is in descent shape, no rust, just the red paint now looks pink. Is there a good epoxy paint that I can use or anything else? Not looking to spend hundreds or bring it in, its a boat trailer and can really care less. Just something brushes on nicely and will hold up. Tractor paint is another one I have heard of??

I put that directly on my galvanized PWC like trailer, sprayed it on. It has held up great.

i did a 10 foot section on my trailer last spring with valspar farm implement paint to see if it would hold up before i shot the whole thing. a year later and allot of use it still looks great, i plan to finish the trailer this year with it. i found it at tractor supply company for around 6 bucks a can and it seemed to go a long ways

big paint stores have their own brand of industrial enamel. i painted my hatteras with Sipersteins royal blue. about 30 bucks a gallon 5-6 years ago. 7 more for the hardener. or get rustoleum by the quart and brush it on...

Rustoleum and a can of this stuff to make it harden up in about 15 minutes.

If its pink because of oxidation, you will need to get that off first or the paint will not stick.

Turns chalky when exposed to UV.

I dont know if its oxidation. I have tried cleaning it with cleaner and a rag and really not a whole lot comes off. But yeah I plan on rubbing it down with all purpose cleaner or something first.
