    You get what you pay for. A proper job would be a lot of prep and time.

    Yeah, it's the prep time. I can paint it for $500, but I won't prep it, so it will look like %*#! in a month. Ever notice an old Schneider trailer painted white ?

    It's your trailer. Seems like a rush job. You can always tell. Nothing gets masked or sanded. Prep is a pressure wash and popping the lights out of the grommets. They usually just spray the grommets too looks really half ###.

    Local trailer shop has painted some of our steps. Sandblast the entire trailer inside and out with black paint $1500 out the door. One we still have that was painted in 07 is just starting to bubble and show some rust.
