![100](https://horsetrailerworld.com/forum/images/decorations/multiple/100.gif) ![25](https://horsetrailerworld.com/forum/images/decorations/multiple/25.gif) Location: Colorado | Hi, I'd like to re-seal my Trailswest floor in the horse compartment and am not sure how to proceed. It has a coat of gray paint or primer on it, apparently from the factory (albeit 10 years old). The boards look very good. So should I repaint it (and with what?) or can I topcoat it with Thompsons and redo the Thompsons annually? For prep, will I need to sand it lightly to rough it up, or can I just pressure-wash? Today I am painting the newly fabbed wall between the horse and shower compartment, so I have paint on the brain. Yesterday I got that wall prepped and one coat of red oxide on one side of it... Hope to finish that project today. Thanks! Michelle

What happens is moisture will get under the paint and rot the wood, not good for a trailer floor. I have used tomphsons and reapplied every year and it looks good so far. JMO |
