I need to paint my rgn in the next year or two. I am going to fix a few cracks and add some tie down points an have it sand blasted and painted. I have seen and used different trailers over the years, some seem to chip real easy, others the paint comes off in sheets, and some it just kind of fades out and chalks off.
Any recommendations on paint?

We spray many gallons of that paint every year (not all raven black) but that stuff generally sticks well to anything decently clean and oil free. typically we spray on sandblasted steel sometimes just power washed some primed some not although sand blasted and primed works much better in the long term. You need to thin it quite a bit more than what it says on the can to spray decent with hvlp.
We thin it with xylene until it will fling off the end of your stir stick pretty freely.
It drys well in the sun lol takes forever in the cold
I think you would be fine to wet sand and paint over what’s there it is heavily xylene based so could be a problem over the old paint depending on what it is.
We are usually painting off road type stuff so I don’t know how it handles saltRuthless, D.Tibbitt, CAXPT and 1 other person Thank this.
