I have a big, old and very rusty trailer that I'm rebuilding. It's not a boat trailer, but I suppose it could carry a small boat! It's entirely open section steel (angle and channel only) so I don't have to worry about internal cavities. At present it's almost entirely back to bare (but rusty) metal. Bashing it with a big hammer gets the big loose flakes off but there is, of course, some powdery surface rust under that. Any recommendations for paint? Hammerite? POR 15? Something with some zinc in it followed by something else? All suggestions gratefully received!
