So after a year of repairing chips and rust on my trailer I have decided to either repaint it or try something new (to me) and put rino liner on it. Have any of you guys ever tried this? What do you think? <BR> <BR>If I do rino line it, I would probably do just the finders and steps (this is where most of the chips and rust are located), but I might go all out and do the whole thing.

seen it done on trucks with great sucess. Hunting vehicles in particular.

I've done a jetski trailer rack. Worked great.

Cliff Griffin from here has the fenders of his SAN trailer linexed. He also linexed pretty much the whole trailer on his old Moomba. I actually owned that boat for a while and I really liked it. It is easy to clean and you don't have to worry about the little chips or scratches.

Seems like a lot of effort to me, especially on a newer trailer. Paint it a color that won't show chips, and dont' worry about it. The trailer is a functional thing, is it really worth all the effort to keep it in PERFECT show condition? I say touch up major chips, and let it be

I've never had a trailer of any kind that looked very good for more than a couple years. Boat trailers, campers, utility trailers, quad trailers, whatever, they all get chipped up no matter what they are painted with. <BR> <BR>If having yours look perfect is necessary, then go for it. I've been thinking about doing it to my quad trailer, which take a lot more abuse than most any boat trailer does.

I don't know if that is functional, but I think that would look sick, especially if you could diamond plate chrome the fenders. I am not sure if that is possible with rhino lining.

I would say it is more function over form. Maybe I am off base here but I don't think it is as good looking as a painted trailer but you can beat the <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font> of comparitively speaking. <BR> <BR>I don't know if there is much effort to it. Take it to the Rhino or linex dealer. Give them money and get it back.

I thtink it would be a good idea. Keep in mind that the liner will fade over time being out in the sun. I have seen several truck beds turn gray (from Black), pink (from Red, etc.

$$$$ very expensive. we dont have it on out boat. but its pricey on the bed of a truck it would most likely cost a fortune for the trailor. it would look cool if it was colored though

I like Linex better than Rhino. I have had Linex on my truck bed for a few years and it doesn’t look faded. It is expensive ($500 to do my truck), but it holds up well and will give you a non-slip surface. Don’t know about heat issues for bare feet.

I'm going to do my fenders this summer after I put the boat in the water. I've got a couple of friends that have done it and it looks good.

Does anyone have some pics they could put up so I can see some different options?
