Thread: Updating and Upgrading My Skeeter F-80 Strada

I have spent the last two days with a Needle Gun stripping all the paint & rust off this trailer frame. When I flipped it over I realized they didn't paint the undersides when manufactured. They primed the entire trailer but shot one coat of black enamel with a spray gun where they could easily. I had a lot of stripping to do to prep for primer & paint.



I have a set of fenders in my stash so I'm just going to cut the original one off and weld new ones on.



At the end of the day today I have one coat of Red Lead primer over the entire trailer while upside down. I plan on putting a second coat everywhere that goes in the water before top coating with Farm Tractor & Implement enamel paint. After a couple of top coats I will flip the trailer over and continue painting the topsides.
