Location: Newnan, GA | Just bought an '01 C&C aluminum trailer with white skin and it didn't clean up (I had it acid washed and buffed/ waxed 2x) as well as I would like. A local auto body shop and then another local RV company said they could repaint the white for around $3500. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with doing this and if so, how it turned out. I don't really want to spend that money and may just get over how it looks... |

Location: western PA | An aluminum trailer can certainly be repainted. In fact, the preparation is much less than that involved in painting a steel trailer. Automotive urethane paints can be used, which are colour fast and UV resistant. A single part paint can also be used, which involves much less labour and material costs than a two part process. The amount of details you desire, IE the number of colours and graphics will add to your costs. Your quote of $3500 seems high, in light of the minimal amount of initial work that has to be performed. I would shop around for some additional prices, and pin the shop down for specifics about what it will do for the price. BOL Gard |
