I had a trailer not too long ago that I had sandblasted, a little welding done, and then repainted. I also replaced the leaf springs and installed all new lights and wiring.

After all was said and done I might have been better off just buying a new trailer.

Sand/bead blasting is the only way to get the trailer prepped for paint. That isn't too expensive, I think I paid around $300 to have it sandblasted.

Painting can be a real bitch. If you have your own sprayer and a place you can paint (the overspray is a major problem) then you might be okay on price. I paid ~$1500 to have the trailer professionally painted. I think there was a LOT more paint lost in overspray than was actually applied to the trailer. If you can tip the trailer up on its side it would help to paint the underside.
