Painting the Trailer
My first project for the boat will be to fix the lighting on the trailer as well as sand off all the rust and paint it with Rust-Oleum. I have chosen the smoke grey enamel color (Number 7786402) that comes in a can so I can brush it onto the trailer. I also bought an LED light kit and side markers to replace the current non-working lights.
The light kit was easy to install but I am not satisfied with the brightness of the lights so I will need to research ways to make it brighter.
Painting the trailer is a slow and tiring process since the trailer is covered in rust each section takes nearly 2 hours to get to the bare metal. I went ahead and bought an electric sander for the project but I soon found that it was not designed for this type of sanding.
