I have a all steel open trailer.The deck is coated with bed liner,and the frame was wire brushed and all rust removed,primed with RustOleum red primer,then RustOleum gloss black paint.I primed the deck before applying the bedliner(I used PlastiKote in a 1 gallon can)which I sprayed on using a undercoat gun.The trailer was built in 1982 and I had to finally remove the diamond plate steel 3 years ago.I did the work on the frame while the bed was off,and then painted it after the new steel deck was put on.The RustOleum has done very well,and I applied primer and paint with a 4" brush.

I think its oil base... I just brush it on.... or 3 other choices... machine paint, tractor oil base paint or POR 15 (I use a off brand called Chassis Saver) the tractor paint I get at TSC works very well also

Mr. P, do you like the rustoleum or TSC paint better (have one of those 10 minutes up the road).
I painted one of my tractors with the TSC tractor paint and it still looks good today... that was 14 years ago so over all I like the tractor paint best... oh yeah that tractor sits out side all the time(its actually a crawler loader so it has steel tracks)so it dont go in the pole barn

I beleive POR 15 cannot be in direct sunlight, no UV protection but not sure about Chassis Saver brand. I brush oil Rustoleum on all my trailers, it works great. I put it on thick and it resists chipping and scratches.
