Galvanised trailer paint

[BTS]

Hi Iam in the process of tarting up my neglected plant trailer, i want a paint that will look as close to the dipped galvanised look the trailer had when new, does anyone know of a good brand or painted old galvanised trailer cheers for help

[jump-it]

my local trailer place sells galvanise paint, not many places sell it anymore

"Galvafroid" (check spelling?) brand is one brand, bloody expensive though, it is supposed to be virtually as good as hot dip galvanising, but does definately not look the same, much flatter/duller plain grey colour.

Galvafroid is good stuff. Make sure you stir it properly and prepare the metal well.

Galiftoid in an aresol can cant go wrong just make sure the area been treated is dry and clean .

Sorry puhed a button before i finished.

1 top coat of hammerite £120 for 5 litres, and it would help if it was sand blasted before painting.

Galvafroid is what i would have suggested. Looks like old galvanising.

If you want your galvafroid to look more like galvanising, once it's well dried rub it over with a brass wire brush - probably not necessary on a plant trailer, but works when you're touching in other galvanised things.
