I would like to amend to the previous post and ask you guys to list what you have successfully used for repairing rust areas on galvanized trailers. My trailer is in the tear down stage and I will be needing paint soon! As the previous post, I thought I was "settled" on whatever rustoleum product I could get at Home Depot, but their directions are not exactly clear. In one section, it tells you to use Aluminum primer, but then on the actual can it tells you not to use on galvanized metal! I will be able to get down there tomorrow and see what else they have.
- I have considered POR15, but I don't think that I want to spend that much $$. I am only in freshwater and I should get plenty of life out of my trailer with good rust repair and "regular" paint. If you have used this, how much did you buy? Quart? Gallon? Did you also get their prep stuff? Also, did you apply this to your entire trailer or just repair areas and regular paint for everywhere else?
- The local boat store had something similar to POR and also something called "cold galvanize." (I just noticed rustoleum has this as well.)
Anyway, can you guys list what primer/paint combo you used successfully on a galvanized trailer?
thanks!
