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. Rod
