I want to modify my steel trailer (Titan gn 3-horse slant) in a couple of ways.  Primarily, I would like to add a ramp.  I called the factory and I can get a new one, but I'd prefer to get a used one.

Is there any central place to search for used trailer parts?

Though it is older, this trailer has excellent factory paint.  I don't like the color of the stripes that were applied when it was new.  Is there any way to paint that striping?  Its' not in bad condition but is a little faded and it isn't my preferred color.  Will wax or polishing compound work to refurbish the color if I can't really paint over it?

Finally, what is the best product to use to remove old stickers that were placed on the paint?  Is applying heat the best way or is there a product available at auto parts stores that will be easier and more effective?

Thanks.

Thanks.  I've looked around and didn't see anything about the stickers, but I'll do a better search.

As for the used parts, it'd be great if someone had a forum or site for such used parts.  I had seen a post or two here about looking for and finding a ramp - maybe even on ebay, but that's pretty hit or miss. 

Thanks for the reply - it is a shame that there isn't a central place to look for used parts on horse trailers even for trailers being "parted out".

Our wrecked LQ trailer went to the local insurance auction company where it was auctioned for parts. Actually the trailer could have been repaired although would of had cosmetic issues. Our insurance company preferred total it. Would of been a good buy for someone even if they just wanted to remove the LQ and reinstall in a shell. You might check local wrecking yards or insurance auction companies.
