    For those that have pulled trailers other than black, how did the paint hold up?
    It's looking like I may be ordering a trailer, so the option is there for choosing a color. I really like white(to match the truck) and blue.
    Obviously bright colors showcase dirt more, but I keep my stuff pretty clean 2+ baths a month.

    Mine is bright green and it will be getting repainted black next year. Previous owner ran a green tractor so he paints his trailers to match.

    I'm going black because it will match my truck nicely.

    I'd go with matching the truck if you want. It's a piece of heavy equipment. It's going to get dirty with mud and oil dripping from machines. That's what washes are for. Don't know if I'd want white though.

    Black matches everything and might help with resale if that's something you care about.

    Every time you scratch a white trailer it bleeds rust, keep plenty of paint cans in truck. I order all my trailers black but I did have two red ones and they held up very nice and looked nice for years!
