Gary,

I made the same inquiry of a body shop several years ago when we had a
boat that was trailerable. At that time I had a EZ-Loader tandem for
a 24.5 midcabin boat. I was quoted approximately $1300. We never got
around to having the work done before we sold the rig.

How much were you quoted?

Question: How much should it cost to have our trailer painted??


Wow! You can have the trailer hot dipped galvanized for about $700 in
Oakland, CA. YMMV. Try Earl Shribe for painting. Or Shribe2000. They
painted my S10 pickup for about $275, included stripping the old

clearcoat.

Yea... I think that was one of the reasons we never got around to it.
It was a roller style instead of a bunk, and they were going to tear
it down & sandblast it. I also figured out how much 22 new rollers
were going to cost (the old ones were getting pretty shabby, about 9
years old) and decided it wasn't worth it. I ended up using a wire
brush and a can of Arctic white Rust-o-leum.

Earl Shibe! Is that company still around!? I remember it used to be
$99 for any car, and "diamond gloss" paints were another $20 or so.

Still around. Seems as if there is both Earl Shribe and Shribe2000 (or
howver earl spells his name). More expensive now. Miracle Auto Painting
used to be $39 and 3 years ago wanted $1300 to paint my S10.
