- In this video I show you how to paint a rusted surface without removing the rust. I just sprayed the miracle paint straight over the rust, then sprayed the Raptor Liner.

Your timing is excellent! This is literally my next project! Thank you!
As usual a great vid!!
Very informative, great work Dave 👍
All of a sudden, the colour choice was perfect in the final shot!
Loads of info in this vid. Thank you for providing info that diy-ers can do from home as well as for other pros. Great info for refurb jobs with no access to sand blaster/workshop etc cos that would add to costs. I got our trailer used $500. We washed it, grinded/ sanded away rust/defects,washed again and left to dry, used rust preventive spray $13 bunnings, rolled on and brushed on some black paint; 2 coats. Paint wouldve cost $60bunnings but we asked a mate to donate us left over paint from another job, needed 2L in the end. Then I gumtree'd a trailer jockey for $30. Feels way better than paying $1k-2k for a new 6x4, especially for something that's left in the elements and bound to get rusty anyway. Plus lots of dipped galvanised trailers r imported from well known overseas factories now. Refurb something as a fun proj and also prevent land fill and waste
I was just about to do this to my trailer so awesome timing!! Just hope mine looks as good.
One heck of a project, nice work!
I sprayed my trailer with penortrole 30od years ago after a run over with a steel brush and then 2 coats of paint mixed with penortrole It is still ok p.s. The odd scratch whell good enough to to give it to my sun .. Nice job peter
Pretty timely video for this guy! I have a little 4ft x 6ft trailer I bought in 2004 that looks so sad compared to when I bought it. I have plans this summer to rehabilitate it and this video breaks down what I want to do perfectly! Wasn't sure if you could add color to Raptor liner - thank you for your insight into this! Moreover, thank you for showing how it's done. I am looking forward to the work now!
Looks nice with the Subi. At first I thought wow that's blue, but once it's outside it looks mint as.
Great video. I bought a 8*5 trailer from the council auctions, out of reg and rust patches. Was wondering where to start with fixing it up, your video was a great help. Not to mention an Aust vid with local prices, yay! Subscribed!
Bill Hirsh Miracle Paint is an awesome product. Yes, you do not want to let any dry on your skin because it will not come off! Nice video.
You uploaded right as I go on lunch at work, perfect timing for an awesome video!!!
Peter A thanks it's 5am here.
@@customspraymods nice, can't wait for more!
Nice job, like the results.
Great video
The video is definitely appreciated but it seems like a lot of work and money for a cheap trailer. Just wanted to put out there that last year I bought Rust-Oleum oil-based paint and rolled it onto a trailer "i got free" that was covered in Rust and to this day it looks brand new so it did a good job of sealing off the rust and it looks good but it probably cost me $20.
Great video Dave!
Interesting video. The metal conditioner is essentially phosphoric acid and eye protection isn't a bad idea. Cold galvanizing also provides good protection. But a good job
Didn't get the blue color until I saw the end of the video... Good job!
I used a wire wheel and electric sander on a similar trailer 12x5 with 3 foot sides. Hit the deep rust spots with the tools and used ruststop primer and flat black spray paint. Look great
I know it’s a year later but I’m doing the exact same with a 5x6 trailer. With a black spray on bed liner for the inside though. Was wondering if anyone had the same idea and there you are.! Haha
I painted mine with like 10 cans of 99 cent spray cans at home depot..😁... Looks beautiful. Dont need it perfect because I use it to haul branches and whatever needs to be hauled.
Very nice results!!!!
Love your work great videos
Thanks mate
One question can you spray 2pac clear over the miracle paint?
Thanks
Excellent work.
Enjoyed the video mate
I wasn’t sure about the color at first, but matched with the Subie it’s definitely a nice look!
Awesome work mate!
Be good to see how it's holding up if possible?
Looks good 👌🏼💯
Interesting project and well shot video. I'm assuming you did under/around the tailgate too, right?
any reason you didn't take the tailgate out and paint that separately?
I use the hell out of my trailers. Painted one time after I build them. One coat of red industrial primer, two coats of industrial enamel. Let dry for a week before use, then use the living hell out of them for 10-12 years until someone wants to buy a used trailer for more than it costs to build a better or bigger one. No repainting of any kind, just use and abuse. It's what trailers are made for.
Nice story
Really awesome .
You know you've got REAL painting skills when you can make a trailer look good!
Looks great, I wish I had a place to put a trailer
Love what you do
Awesome video thank you so much!
Great video, whay spraygun did you use?
How much of each product have you used? You didn't have to add more than the quantities you've showed or was there much left over? Your videos are awesome.
Thanks
Personally I liked the sliver color but the blue is equally nice. Is the Raptoliner essentially a textured bed liner type product? I could see texture on the rims but not on the trailer. I had thought of using a product like this on my old rusted skid steer but just inside where you sit. Great to know I can match equipment yellow into the Raptoliner
Ok im sold on the raptor :) just orderd a batch to try out.
Hey mate great video, I wanna do the same to my trailer. How much Miracle Paint was required to do the job? I do plan on doing the under carriage as well on my trailer.
Just wondering if you could wax and Greece remove then go and use the raptor epoxy primer....then raptor bed liner??? Why did you not use the raptor epoxy primer?.
Thanks so much for this video
Great video I'm going to paint my semi trailer floor
very nice. Is the finish textured or smooth? (hard to tell from video)
Thanks for this; the paint's just PEELING off my old Snowbear trailer!
What about the underside? Wouldn't you recommend people remove the rust, and at least prime underneath? I'm getting ready to do my small utility trailer and would like to know. Thanks.
I wonder how well that paint is going to take the beating from tools and other things you put on the trailer.
Did you sand the primer before applying the raptor liner?
I'm going to do the same as what you have done with my dump trailer.
The paint on new trailers doesn’t last, this looks like it will last. Thanks for sharing.
Cool. I giving it a go. 😊 thank you
cant wait for a new video
Just the sort of video I was looking for however I can’t help think what that would cost is there a simpler easier version for someone who just wants to make a rusty mowing trailer looks better than it is and last couple more years and doesn’t have your set up?
Looks good! But i actually liked the silver better... It would look really good silver, then just coat it with clear coat, that way it has UV protection.
Hi Customspraymods. A few keyboard warriors down there 👇🤦♀️ this vid was perfect for me. I’m about to reno my ute trailer and horse float. Your method looks great...I have 2 questions please
1. In some places the structural part of the float needs cutting out and welding (not sure of the term) at which point in the process would I do this?
2. The roof of the float is fibreglass. Will I need to use different products there? Thanks !
Good job
Gday,
I'm trying to paint old prev painted Stainless Steel.
The paint has some rust underneath.
Would the Metal Ready and Miracle Paint be usable with Acrylic spray paint? Or Oil based (ALKYD)?
Cheers
I think I will look into some of the same type products here in the US for my Jeep.
Beefalo Bart this product sounds very similar to POR15
That’s fire
Awesome job)))
Hey, is the miracle paint supposed to be a heavy substance? I got mine today but it is really heavy to use with the brush!
So did it cost more to paint the trailer than the trailer was worth?
Mark Sponge Don’t know how cheap trailers are in your neck of the woods but £100 worth of material and a days work is well worth the trade 🤷♂️
A good trailer is priceless when you need it.
G webster Not at trade prices it’s not.
@@BeefaloBart I can rent one where Iive for 25 dollars a day.
heck i wouldn't even bother to spend or waste money on that trailer, just leave it as is and spend the money on something worth painting etc...
Did you just prime over the primed primer of the originally primed area that was already primed?
Bro that's exactly what I was thinking haha you literally only need 1 of these products before painting over it or you can just use a poly paint. Waste of money
I work at custom trailer shop as the painter. A trailer that small 15 mins with a green 3m stripper disc and switch to a wirewheel for the diamond plate and rust is gone. Could even use a drill if you don't have grinders on hand. Drill, sandpaper with hand, die grinder or rotary tool for any hard to reach places inside the channel or suspension parts. Gallon of primer and paint $60 and will paint it twice. I didn't see him paint underneath. We paint the complete frame and suspension in primer and then with a high solids acrylic enamel paint in whatever color
Your not understanding the purpose of surface coatings
1. The first one was for a high level of corrosion resistance. As in a VERY high level. ie you are driving next to the ocean all day resistance.
Then he primed that surface for the next layer
2. The next layer is abrasion resistance. That is what raptor coating is for. Anti-scratch material
This was not just a minimal prep 3 in 1 rustoleum in a can job. What James Smith said about painting custom trailers, his preparation while effective is not as protective as this sequence. James layering is done for aesthetics and economy, not for long term survival from multiple harsh attacks.
The only real criticism I have is that he didn't do the under side or do the tail gate separately. That is a serious omission of doing a complete job. In the end the guy was not doing a tutorial for how to do your trailer, he was just videoing what he did with his trailer. Basically a colour coding of what he had to his car with some coatings that he wanted to try because they above just primer and paint.
How much rapror coat did you use to paint the box at 2 layers
Would hammerit black would to the same for the first coat?
Ohhhh believe me, its comming back again.
it wont the way he did it.
@@heightsgolan8742 oh if he leaves it in doors for the next 10 billion year's it will not but do to the fact that there is a thing called humidity and oxygen in thte air also that the parts all ready had rust, ive done this all ready and ques what its back dont get me wrong it will hold for a good time but you cant say it will never rust also in the joint its close to impossible to penetrate but unbelievably rust gets in there
@@heightsgolan8742 he didn't spray underneath the trailer only the fenderwells it's coming back underneath is still rusting away
@@JamesSmith-lt5zz I own 3 trailers. All of them are bare steel underneath. I have had then over 20 years.
the trailer isn't old or rusted ?
750 ml of Hammerite and a brush, £20.
I wish we could buy hammerite in the usa! I love that paint! Send me some to the usa 😁
What kind of air compressor do you have??
Great vid. Can’t help thinking though with all the time and cost of product $$ may have been cheaper buying a new trailer 🤣
So how has it held up.
I like Raptor liner but that silver paint looked really good on the trailer too.
Question: When you are using a full face mask like that how do you prevent getting over spray on the lens? Or do you clean it with mineral spirits when you are done?
Should be like every other spray.
I think you purchase tear offs for the mask...
Not really sure what the ‘ miracle paint’ is but etch primer goes on top of acid washed or rust converted steel as the 2nd layer.
Nice
wire brush, or ( sand blast ) then paint with POR 15. Done !! yes it even last's in the sun ( much better and faster product )This will also give you a smooth even finish that shines like brand new. not a rough crappy finish that will hold all the dust and dirt from the road.
Thanks 🙏👍
Was like wow, that is not rusty at all but you did turn it back into a brand spanka.
First Sandblast to Commercial Blast Standard. Prime with Inorganic Zinc Primer. 2 coats of High build Epoxy.
Or, buy a galvanized trailer. Underside of trailer which will continue to rust and flange around the top should have been painted first. Whatever was behind the curtain door will have paint specs on it.
You do not 'Freeze' rust! It has to be removed.
I dipped my trailer in citric acid instead of blasting. Sure not everyone has an old pool laying around or a crane but the next project won’t fit in the pool 😂 I was going to do it half then prime then the next then expoy . Been doing this since 1985 never blasted anything. Doesn’t it leave a marked finish or does it depend on your media?
@@TheLexiconDevils Sandblasting or glass bead blasting leaves a slightly roughened finish that is a good anchor pattern for coating. ....an old pool full of citric acid??? Interesting.
You can "Freeze" rust if you the coating you are applying is actually a polymer that is air tight. Without oxygen there is no oxidation which is what rust is. That is what he applied. It is a plastic not a paint.
thats such a good color. Do you mind telling me what its called?
nvm you said it like 30 seconds later in the vid. haha good stuff!
How come u washed it then hit it with the sander?
Bought a can of 3 in one paint, kill rust/primer/finishing coat. Washed trailer, 2 coats of paint , job done.
j t what brand of spray can did you use?
@@anthonysciorilli1054 mate i bought a 4 liter can of watttyl kill rust epoxy paint. I purchased from my local automotive retail outlet. Gave the old trailer a touch up here & there on all the loose paint/rusty bits with my electric angle grinder. Washed the tailer down with some dish washing detergent mixed with water from a bucket. Use a soft bristle hand brush or broom, then rinse off with water from garden hose. Trailer dry, 2 coats of paint using paint brush. Want a better looking finish, use a spray gun & compressed air. Should be instructions on can about spaying procedures. Usually have to thin the paint out to spray paint with thinners for oil base or water for water based paints. Doesn't matter where you purchase, local hardware or automotive paint outlet. Go with who ever is cheapest. Good luck, cheers from 🇦🇺👍🏻👌🏻.
@@F.Krueger-cs4vk about to tackle this project, does 4 litre of paint enough to cover the entire 6 x 4 trailer?
@@technik333 should be more than enough for 2 coats. Instructions on paint can should give surface area paint will cover. Good luck, 👍🏻👌🏻
Is he using a airless to spray it ?
How much if any did you thin the primer?
LOL! I liked everything you did... except for the color. Then at the end, I saw why. You need to pick better colors for your car! ; )
What is the average cost for the chemicals / paint used in this video? I'd like to fix my trailer up
Great vid. What was the cost of materials and how long would you expect that coating to last on a trailer that wasn't stored under cover?
Andy Gray the raptor is UV stable so I will last forever. Prices are in the links in Australian $$. This coating is much better then the original finish so you can't compare to a new trailer.
@Andy Gray hundreds of dollars and removal of overspray from the equipment in your shed or on your driveway.
The trailer looks good but that XT is the real star nice Foz you got more info on it somewhere?
Thanks, Unfortunately I sold it, Sti Forester, Brembo Brakes, STI Shocks. 2L Turbo. Was a great car.
How much of each product was used to do a trailer of this size??
Sandblast everything then take it to LINE X and let them do there coating ,if it chips they fix it for free for life , I did my Pickup truck bed in 2003 its ranch tested with every thing you could throw at it and it's still going strong !!! wish I did the whole truck
Power wash it with simple green first. Sand off any heavy rust. Convert the remaining rust with something like naval jelly . Wash it again. Dry it. Use a spray bomb to prime any bare areas. Go to tractor supply buy a gallon of oil base alkyd enamel for 50.00 spray it with that . And save about a bazillion dollars over this process!
How long would it take you to paint a 3 car trailer?
Another great video, can I ask the rough cost to do it?
Faulkner Macdonald thanks. Price would depends where you are located. Links in the description for Australia.
@@customspraymods Cheers, should have checked first :)
Well fancy not straightening the grab handle, typical - priceless!
What was total cost to do that... Probably cheaper to get it galvanized
good job Dave. How does miracle paint fair against POR & KBS products of the same variety? Pricewise?
Mick Holgate I've used all of them. They all do the job just as good as each other. I love this silver though.
@@customspraymods good to know mate
NWONKNU • I imagine so. Dave would know
Only issue I see is cost. You can replace with a new trailer for about a grand or a 2nd hand one for a few hundred.
He's a professional painter. Not much cost involved if he got the trailer for $200
@@1993Revhead I understand that but it's a video intended to demonstrate how to fix a rusty trailer. Most people can't get these products for free and by the time you factor in how cheap a new trailer is, you wouldn't bother going to this extent to repair an old one.
I understand the buying of new, but the challenge of restoring old equipment has its alour and pride.
And to demonstrate your side of the argument, in 2017 we drove up to northern Vermont to trailer dealer that handled
N & N trailers from Quebec. Completely galvanized. Bought a 12 x 6 dump trailer front hydraulic piston, 10,000 pound gvw. An absolutely fantastic trailer so far. So you are right at times it is prudent to purchase new when time and money permit.
around these parts we blast the trailer with steel down to bare clean metal then paint.
Now that six hundred dollar trailer has a seven hundred dollar paint job.
When you tint the raptor liner can it be tinted with any base or it has to be a special type of base?
erikbaza any solvent based 2k suitable basecoat
Products available only in Australia mate.
I really like the look of the Miracle Paint, too bad it's not sun resistant.
About 300-400$ on paints (I might be off), a new trailer cost a lot more than that good job (about 2000+ for anything decent).
The anti rust stuff is the same as penatrol. Been around for years. Except for penatrol, these products cost an arm and a leg. He also has a spray booth. The trailer will get knocked around and rust will reappear.
How does that magic base compare to POR 15?
gus bisbal id say it’s the same.
