My trailer was painted underneat with paint, but has a few rust spots. Is their a primer that i can spray on without having to remove the rust? And what would be best to under coat it with? Like i've seen that paint on do it your self truck liner. Would that work? Cause i would like to undercoat the bottom of the trailer and inside the fenders with something like that.

Check out POR-15.  I did the frame and suspension of my Corvette with it after sandblasting, no rust after 3 years.  Others on the vette forum have done the same.  Stuff is expensive but great.  I just painted the frame of a trailer, but as I was selling it I did it with rattle cans of Rustoleum.  Had I been keeping the trailer I would have invested in a can of POR-15.

Awesome stuff.  I will be doing the frame of my '51 Ford F1 in the stuff as well.  The semi-gloss black gives a nice finish, the regular black is somewhat glossy when dry, looks a bit strange on a frame IMHO.

Cheers!
