Trailer Makeover for very little $$$

[CuDaMaN]

So lets say you score a trailer for a killer price and even though it does it's job just fine and it's nothing fancy, you want to kinda give it a facelift without spending a ton of cash.......
(prices are approx.)
White paint--already had
Pint of Black--$6.00
3 one inch throw away brushes--.60 ea = $1.80
1 roll one inch blue painters tape--$3.00

So, for about $11.00 bucks........I get started......

TA DAAAA.........

Before

After

Still gonna do the ramp in a fresh coat of grey (that I already have as well), and I need to do some touch-up work on the floor, but you get the idea......

Material cost = $11.00
Labor = free
Beer = $734.28
So you see, for only $745.28, you too can have a nicer Dog House.....

note on floor paint, might be slick if it gets alittle water on it,, like dew on tires, becarefull, ramp to.. looks good though.. might try sand mixed in paint on ramp..

If you look at pic 2 you can see that the trailer came with those black 6"x10" traction pads that run up the ramp and into the trailer. They're plastic, but have a very rough texture that gives your tire something to bite into. I plan on re-installing those once all the paint work is done. :up:

good deal bro just didnt want anything to happen to hurt you or your dog:up:

Just a suggestion on the ramp... you might want to use roll on bedliner coating for a non slip surface.

I hope you get $700 back for the beer when you return the empty bottles. One hell of a redemption fee. Beer is worth any price though. Nice job on the trailer.

Really good job. Looks great:up::up:

 

[Shark]

Thats good stuff, like brand new.

 

[viperize]

Looks great. Where did you get the front tire tie down?

 

[CuDaMaN]

Front tire lock / tie-down was already installed. That alone can cost up to $300.00, so that's why for $1,500.00 total cost, I could'nt pass it up.
