So after a busy couple of week of. Or being able to work on the trailer I was finally able to get some work done on it last night. I cut out the middle of the axle from the previous owner attempting to splice it together by welding two pieces of angle iron together in an ugly attempt to make square tubing. Can't fault the guy though because it worked this way for years but it was just too heavy and ugly for me to let it stay on this trailer. I used square tubing and welded the axle back together to the right width.
I used a brown Rustoleum Hammerrite paint. It's direct to rust paint and has worked great for me on multiple projects in the past. I painted the trailer while it's laying on its top. I also painted the rims. The pics were kinda dark due to the light. Friday I will flip the trailer upright and paint it from the top to finish it out. Hopefully I'll be able to get some better pics then.
Suggest welding beer holders in front corner pockets, dual purpose, tie downs and place to hold beer, then it will be the perfect county and western atv trailer.

Ok so yesterday I was able to flip the trailer and paint it from the top. IMHO the thing turned out amazing. I love this paint and love the color even more. It was still wet and I was unable to hook it to the ATV and see what kinda angle we will have when the tilt is engaged. Those pictures will follow soon.
