paint old Snipe trailer???
Sorry I spelt it incorrectly! It's expensive stuff but still a
cheaper/easier alternative. Make sure you let the coats dry properly before
overcoating.

Tracked it down on Google GalvAfroid.

I had the same, I used a rotary cup brush on my angle grinder to clean
up
the metal, then I hand painted it with Galvofroid (cold galvanising
paint)
and finished it with an aluminium paint - good as new!

I have a Snipe trailer that is looking "shabby".
Whilst it is galvanised, it is looking tired.
Is there any point painting it with say smooth hamerite or is it
best
left
as bare galvanising?
Thanks

Galv does not take paint well. You need a special micaceous primer,
little
else will grip galv, all paints eventually peel off, even if properly
primed.
The only other alternative is to strip the trailer down and have it
hot
dipped galvanised. London Galvanising are just one company who will do
this.
