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

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.
