Nice work. That aluminum is thin and dings easily. Ya'll did a nice repair and repaint, and your vinyl guy's work is awesome.

thank you so much for your video! I have been looking and looking for someone that would show me how to paint an enclosed trailer! And I loved what you did for camp hendon...what a wonderful project! Would you mind telling me what kind of primer and what kind of paint you used?

I have a dent in the door panel to my Jamco horse trailer. Was caused by the jack stand handle being too long and the door smacked into it. Already has a hole drilled in the center. I don’t have a slide hammer, what’s an alternative?

@jamieriley1653 3 жыл бұрын

does anyone know what they used for primer and paint? we have a small enclosed trailer similar to theirs and can't find anyone in our area to even attempt to paint it. We bought a Wagner paint sprayer last summer..would that work? Willing to do all the prep work as long as someone could help us through the steps. Going from black to white...black is too hot! Any help or suggestions is SO appreciated!

Nice Video. I have the same exact trailer. Im gutting it completely and starting from scratch. wiring and all. But I'm going from Black to white. Is there anything you recommend since its going from black to white. Any specific primer ? Also I'm doing it outdoors , is that not a good idea?

@danielbuckner2167 3 жыл бұрын

That was 9 months ago but for future readers of course you can paint outside! We have painted cars outside i have worked in a few body shops as a collision tech and of course you risk a bee coming along and walking around but do it under a pole barn, wet the ground an bour ahead, hang some plastic and make it happen.

Looking at painting my enclosed trailer soon. Is any specific paint to use? Heard you say primer sealer first, then what paint? My benefit is I'm gonna resheet mine so starting with fresh clean aluminum

@NewmanTractor 4 жыл бұрын

Primer first always works well. You should have a great surface with everything being fresh. We use Rival by DuPont paint. We have been really happy with results after 2 coats. Thanks for your interest and for watching brother! Good luck on your project!

I'll try to remember to update this on how things go. Hopefully smoothly but who knows with my luck!

It will be great! Kudos to going at it and doing it yourself! Take your time with the prep work and masking and lay it on slow. You cant loose!

@@NewmanTractor Do you remember how much paint it took to cover the whole thing with 2 coats?

@edwardjackson5169 2 жыл бұрын

If you could tell me, how much would a paint job like this cost? I have a 53ft enclosed I want repainted but have no clue who has a booth big enough to do it.

@NewmanTractor 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Edward! Paint jobs like this depend on what exactly you're looking to do and how much you're looking to spend. If you do a full color change instead of just some touch ups, of course you can expect to be spending a little more money. It also depends on the kind of paint you want to use. We could fit a 53ft enclosed in our shop if you're interested and want to move forward with the body work! This page on our website can give you a little more information - www.newmantractor.com/heavy-equipment-painting Thanks for following along! We hope you enjoy!

Hey Edward! I remembered your question from a few months ago and we have a new video dropping today about how to bring your paint back to life without having to repaint. Hope it's helpful! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZpgktqHyMrOpIE.html
