Has anyone let DHM trailer repaint their trailer if so how did they do? I also wonder if getting it powder coating it would be more durable?

Brian, Grant had his trailer repainted at DHM. I think he was totally satisfied. I had them do some touch-up work on mine and it was fine.

Have you thought about getting it rhino lined or line-x? You would probably have to strip it and rough it up first, but it would hold up really well.

Yes DHM re-painted my trialer. From what I understand all DHM trailers are painted not powder coated. Its not cheep anywhere form $1500 to $1700

But before you say that expencieve. Think about what they have to do.
1. Take your boat off your trailer and put it on a temp trailer
2. Completley take your trailer all apart.
3. Sandblast the whole thing.
4. Put trailer back together, wireing bleeding the brake's re-carpet the bunk's

Im not saying its cheep its just alot of work keep that in mind. Better hurry up before DHM gets super busy.

I've dealt with DHM a couple of times... They are a first class operation, and will take good care of your boat while they're doing the work also..
I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Thanks, for the insite Grant. That would be a top notch job if they sand blast it. Its for a friend no way would I want to paint a trailer its alot of work. I have painted car trailers in my day and hated every second of it.

Line-X all the way!

I had mine done a couple of years ago and would never own another trailer without it.

People can grind gravel, dirt, and duck sh** into the fender's all they want now. All I have to do is hose it down.

The cost of a trailer is usually about $1200.00 and has a lifetime guarantee. You can chose any color you want these days

Cliff if your friends are grinding dirt into your trailer you need to find new friends LOL.

Dirt grinder's "NOT WELCOME"
