trailer sales and repair shops sell the single sheets of the paneling. Replaced a panel on my trailer not long ago, very easy and cheap and will look new.
I did the same
Ow btw man you did a really nice job on Kyles exhaust manifold, everyone was saying how sick it looked. Can’t wait to see the Rx7 back on the road too.
If you ask me, save the time and money and put an awning on the side of that thing instead.
Excellent idea, awning bracket atleast. You'll be glad you did.!!
Damage is like the car in Once upon a time in Hollywood. I think Emilio kicked somebody into the side of that trailer. Get a new panel from trailer supply or try a heat shrink. Keep inside light color for light reflection.
I'd say paint the walls and put vinal floors down just to seal the spills.
Always hit it with a heat gun before you hit it with a hammer!
There’s a reason why it’s white! A black trailer oof... can you imagine how hot it would get in the summertime or Texas at anytime!
Don't paint it. Just replace the fender and panel
You'd be surprised the damage a blowout can do to sheet metal and aluminium.
Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍
As far as someone "turning into something", pivot points are the most difficult spots to "turn" into something... unless he slide the trailer into something (which certainly happens a lot in the winter due to trailer brakes). If it wasn't slid into something, it was run into for sure.
Throw a jack (or forklift lol) under the fender well on the center of the dent and beat around the ridge of the dent from the topside while keeping a bunch of pressure applied to the bottom, if you want to get the dent out further. And can also confirm they sell single panels if places are open there (have done many of them). :)
Been going back and watching all your old videos, come along way and love the content. 💯
So glad your nearly at 100k hayden. You deserve it been watching you for a good 3 years now, keep up the good work brother. stay safe 👍
Great job by Lucy and Jupiter keeping you on task!
"This thing right here needs Jesus" 😂😂😂
Thanks this gave me idea of what to expect and how to fix mine thanks for sharing
Looks good and yes paint the trim with apoxy black and stained inside
Nice work dude 🤙 I'd go with a light color inside, help with light transference. a flat white stain would look very nice, probably be able to see some of the wood grain through it. 🤙💕
I have alot of circle track friends with inclosed trailers alot of them went to like a flooring store. Bought a thick black and white checkerboard print vinyl and glued it to the floor holds up great looks awesome
I actually fix stuff like this daily. Replace the panel, don’t bother with paint. Fender lip is cheap and easy to replace. Also 3M VHB tape on the studs is your best friend on a trailer with screws in the paneling... Kyle’s trailer is a “black out” package and was built that way. The atp, fenders and trim are powder coated black. As for the inside of your trailer I recommend and personally use Raptor Liner for floor and wall treatment. It can be purchased or tinted in whatever color you want. Scuff the wood with 40 grit and lay it down, and it stays.
Black n white checker vinyl Looks awesome on floor it's cost effective use pro grade adhesive. I've done it in more than one ..
I have done 12" x12" stick on vinyl tiles for trailer floors, black and white checker board pattern looks nice and clean
I'm here after 58 seconds. Tee shirt is great thanks Hayden!
Looks a million times better than before. As for colour black trim and gun metal grey panels 😍👌
For the dent in the metal sheeting, I would bring it to a metal fab shop that is equiped with sheel metal rolling equipment. You pass the sheet between the rollers to give it a slight curve on one side, then you pass it the other way to straighten it the best you can. If not, you can probably just buy a new sheet or 2 from a trailer company. For the dent in your wheel tub, I have a 10 ton body jack that I bought off amazon. Pretty good to straighten things like that! For your fender, a couple passes on an english wheel would probably eliminate a lot of these imperfections. Last point, I wouldn't personnally caulk the seams because if the trailer start to leak again, it might seal the moisture inside the walls and make real damage unnoticeable. At least if you can see the water dripping inside, you know you have a problem!
As long as you can get a nice glossy paint. Heck yeah. Paint it!💪
I work for wells cargo you should be able to get a new panel for that cheap. We are just in utah im sure I could help get any parts you need.
cant you just get 1 new panel and a new fender? Screw painting it unless your going to powder coat.
black trims would look good bud , was thinking that just before you mentioned it in the vid haha😂👍
VARATHANE CLASSIC BLACK WOOD STAIN, roll it on, then wipe is off, it gives it the modern grey look! Itd look badass!
Swisstrax would look good on the floor. Plus if you get a new trailer you could reuse them in that.
What we did to our trailer was put a white rolled laminated flooring down. Then put in white vinyl texture sheeting up on the walls, so you the white keeps it bright in there at dark. The vinyl is easy to keep clean.
I would suggest a sealant/stain. That would make it look good and help protect the wood from any spills that might happen plus in my opinion paint is a hassle, it doesn't last long, and it will show any scuffs that will happen when moving the car in and out. Just some things to think about when you make your decision
You can get a replacement piece of siding pretty cheap, Painting the trim is up to you... it's either polish it or paint it. Self etching primer, and possibly epoxy paint. Paint the interior with enamel White Walls, I'm old-fashioned and believe a oil base is superior, if you can't get it in your state you can still probably get Rust-Oleum enamel yes it's for metal, but then it out and spray it and you'll do just fine with several coats. There are several good flooring options I like a textured tile in checkered pattern. You need to figure out how to outfit the inside for what you need for storage, and we also recommend an awning on the outside.
looks good man that black trim look sweet on kyles trailer you should do that on yours
Hey I'm just seeing this video now and I know you posted a while ago but since it was in fast forward any idea if you remember how many screws it took to get that panel off I've got a similar problem and I was just wondering... Thanks for your post!
Keep up the good work. People are in love with the van manifold! It is funny that it’s a all wheel drive van with 1000 plus HP but the question was . Who made the manifold? Happy you are doing the cage with the future in mind. Good luck!
New fender and panel and white or light grey on the walls to help bounce light. Maybe some cabinets in the nose for storage if you’re feeling fancy.
I'm kind of late to the party, but you need a "slapper." (a type of body hammer, google it, most people make their own, I made one out of a leaf spring leaf I had sitting around), it makes straightening flat or gently curved panels a piece of cake, I've straightened a bent up garage door with one and you can't tell.
Those panels are available from trailer dealers, put a new one and a new fender on it and no one will know.
I like Kyle's trim, but be aware you might be opening a can of worms. The aluminum might be either clear anodized or clear coated and that could cause issues with paint. Your best bet is to use an etching primer or a zinc chromate primer before painting it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the black trim on Kyle's trailer is either powered coated or anodized before it was put on.
I'd paint the inside of the trailer white or light grey, it will make it brighter in there and easier to work on the car. It will also show any dirt more :-/
That’s what’s up bro change it up! I like that and like you said never done it before so let’s learn!
Use key polymer floor restore. Used it a lot at my last shop working on semi trailers to seal floors so they could be washed out easily after hauling medical waste. Looks like a gym floor when it’s all cured too.
Black trim looks good, sick ass wrap on the outside. Stain the wood with some kind of white, will brighten up the inside when your working on your car at tracks and no preps. Ps, Wyatt will still give you hell probably cause it doesn’t look brand new, 😂
btw you KILLED it on the rowdyssey turbo manifold!!
Use outdoor deck paint and get the extra textured, it’s almost like a bed liner mixed with paint. It will flex with the wood. Epoxy is to brittle and will crack when the wood flexes
Great fix
Definitely stain the floors Itll look so much better and I dig the black trim too
Try to find some 16s rims and tires the bigger wheel and tire help with not having blowouts cause they handle the weight better. Now I gotta go fix a panel on my trailer I’ve better procrastinating lol.
U can buy replacement body panels. Caulk between the outside panels would help alot with water getting to the wood. The wood usually isnt treated so it rots fairly easy
i feel like youd want to paint it white on the interior, it would help when its dark outside and the lights you use should reflect off the walls...
Enjoying the content 👍🏼 🇦🇺
Painted silver with a black trims it looks very nice
i used garage floor epoxy on my trailer floors, and it worked great.
Do you guys know what the drill bit is for the side panels. Trying to do some work on my trailer and the screws are like a double square bit. I’m trying to order them but don’t know the size.
paint the inside gloss white so stains clean up easily. and it will make it brighter inside.
You made sure to seal the seams back up when you put it back together right? Like the panel you pulled off. And I guess the wood inside doesn't really need it but wouldn't hurt. But outside for sure and the seam above the fender. I'd even put a little Dab into each screw hole b4 you put the screws back in to make sure it seals.
You should put down 12x12 vinyl tile. Black and white like a checkerboard. A buddy of mine has his done like that and it looks really good.
Get the textured shower and bath board wall sheets that comes in white and other colors and just line the inside walls with that. I think it comes in 4x8 sheets that are like a 1/4 inch thick. It cleans up very easy and is gloss finish so it willl brighten up the inside a lot and look really clean. Then i would just bed line the floors with the stuff from there parts store that u put on with a roller. A little better grip and would clean up spills pretty easy and would look killer. Add a few strip lights and it would be Pimping.
What torque bit did you use to remove the panels?
Looks good paint the trim black
Hey man like your vids just wanted to say I do wood floors for a living you should stain then use a commercial grade polyurethane finish would make it last
The trim is powder coated on most trailers. Polish the trim and shark hyde it!
Minor fix homie keep up the good work keep grindin dawg
Definitely use a weather proof deck stain. Maybe even hit it with some fire to make the grain really pop. Would be the nicest I've seen.
Yeah it would look good with the trim black
So I work for a trailer manufacturing company and have fixed many trailers messed up worse than that. And you did a pretty good job. But it would have been a lot easier to go and purchase a new sheet.
Thatxcarxguy
A agree with you.spend a little on new angle iron, sheet aluminum, and fender trim. Would make it look like new money.
Does look much better , but a little extra would look great
You can always use a clear poly on the wood floors. Same as you would on furniture
Should do a grip tape floor , and yes paint the trailer trim and seal the whole trailer up where you can !
good job not bad man!
"This fuckin thing needs Jesus" Hahahahaha. Had me laughing my ass on that one.
5200. We used to seal all the Buses trims. It works really good
Thats a nice trailer, how much mpg do you get in that cummins
Havent towed it with the cummins yet. Duramax would get like 10 lol
How good are those boosted shades?
i think the dent has been caused because the frame at the rear of the trailer is bend up (like when the trailer is overloaded , then the front tire is blowing out and the rear wheel takes all the load thats inside the trailer ) , wouldnt be suprised that the grease goes on intoo the roof as well
i suggest you put the trailer on the lift or over the greasepit they have in the shop and check if the trailerframe is still straight or cracked check aspecially around the springmounts and where the solid axle could bottom out on the trailerframe
as for bending it back , it might be eazier to use a bottle jack and some bracing to push off of
as for painting the floor : bedliner is nice , anti slip and holds up well (its a sort of rubber so it stays flexible), could also do black and white checkerboard vinyl
I work for a all aluminium trailer manufacturer, order a panel from the company that build it. (Info will be on the ser#tag) Those aluminium outter fenders are less then $100. . we powder coat the trim pieces. I would just mask off and paint the trim and fenders matte black using a self etching primer first.
I would paint the floor with a oil base floor paint for inside a house and prep with mineral spirits also I think the outside would look grate black and white but you will want to sand with corse sand paper so the paint will adhere to the aluminum
U always build cool shyt I don't worry what's the nexted build.
The trailer does look a lot better now 👍🏻
I was just wondering whatever happened with the v8 civic build your and your friends were doing together
Paint the Trim Olivedrap green. and green and light green inside. green for Colorado
Kyle's (Cleetus's old) Trailer definitely came from the Manufacturer with the trim black. It will be almost 100% powder coated. It was definitely not rattle canned black. And you would be surprised how much damage a blowout can cause. Because there are not impact marks on the out side sheet metal the rubber from the blowout could have easily been cleaned off with brake clean. If he had hit something there would be damage like scratches and missing paint from the side. Just go and get a new panel from a local steel supplier. You can get it pre power coated or painted. And call the trailer manufacturer and buy a new fender (spat). Then it would look as good as new. Also with the dent in the wheelhouse you can see from the inside. Use a block of wood and a floor Jack and put some weight on it while you slightly hammer around the outside of the dent. Maybe even use a little heat from a torch just to take the chill out of the steel. Don't heat it up so hot you burn the paint. Just enough to make it easier to work. Its worth doing because apart from that it's a nice looking trailer.
You should do Rhino coat on the Aluminum trim black or army green, and I would Insulate the Trailer Easy to do.
White ceiling red walls graphite grey on the floor add some lights and a few black metigulous vinyls and it's ready for race season go get em
All black trailer would get so damn hot. Leave it white and maybe throw a custom decal on there!
Use a jack in that one spot from underneath to push it up. Wheels off and just lift it.apply heat if needed. Should get pretty close.
Did you leave the screws on the top of the trailer
Go with a nice weatherproof stain for decks on the inside of the trailer and there are plenty of colors to choose from
What's up with that white eg civic hatch in the fence?
Murdered out Triple black trailers look the best to me. They do get hotter inside during the summer though
Respect to you for not joining the "I don't give a fuck if I infect someone" crew in florida.
GE makes a paintable silicone. it works pretty well.
fill it with expanding foam?
Can add foam board inside the cavity to insulate it and yes a blow out cad do that damage and more!
Metigulous = metallurgical genius
Stain wood n self etching prime the aluminum then semi gloss black
A new fender and panel and I wouldnt bother with any paint, just let it ride
Found the Miasing screws they are in the tires.
White on the inside it will brighten it up. If you can do the floor white also. It will show any leaks in your car.
I'd paint the floor with a deck paint then throw a second coat on with a little grit into it for some traction
What type of shades are those 😎
I'd stain it and seal it. I feel like paint would probably just look cheap and tacky
Looks like nice plywood. I like clear finish only.
Metigulous: Can we fix this?
Bob the builder: yes we can!
I would love to get an enclosed trailer. But I don’t have the room. Barely have the room for my 16’ open. Anyway. Yeah I’d paint the inside. Probably a grey so it hides dirt but doesn’t stay too hot. The aluminum. Nah I wouldn’t paint it. Maybe polish it but then again that might make it too shiny in your mirror if you’re pulling it on a sunny day... just my thoughts.
Hey what would be cool is a wrap of full sized RX as it would be riding on the inside. On the outside.
