Plasti Dip trailer fenders?

[BrettLee3232]

Like you said it is cheap and easy so you might as well give it a shot. Worst case is you don't like it and have to peel it off. I plasti dipped the wheels on my truck and the trailer about 3 months ago and so far I am really pleased with it. Been through the car wash a few times and so far it is holding up very well with no nicks or peeling spots.

Are those the stock trailer rims? Can you take a closer picture please? Thanks looks good!

Thanks! I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Yeah they are the stock rims. I will try to snap a close up tonight.

Thanks, might be a good option for me since my wife would get pretty pissed buying new rims for the boat lol. I'm running out of "friends" that buy me stuff for the boat. In December my "friend" no bought us a new fusion transom remote. Earlier another "friend" upgraded our ballast for us.

I have really nice friends lol

FYI: I'm secretly the friend who bought it HAHA

Has anyone done this before? I figured black fenders would look a lot better especially if I get black rims. Just curious if anyone has done it before? Thanks!

I would look into Powder coating them. Its much more durable and honestly doesn't cost that much.

Even having a shop paint them isn't going to cost that much. Take them off the trailer and walk in. Since this isnt a car quality finish its going to be much cheaper.

Another option < one I am going to do after the big move > get a hold of the Tech schools who train painters, they will almost always do it for free, you might pay for Paint because they use it as training.

Would they have to take the paint off before they powder it?

Honestly I don't know. I have never had anything powder coated. My friend here locally does it on the side, Let me text him to ask.

Most Powder coaters will sand/media/bead blast any metal prior to powder. All of the guys I know that do it either have their own blast equipment or "their guy" that does parts weekly to prep for powder for them.

Most of the time their price includes media blasting. I just had my windshield frame done for 150. It was a total of 15 pieces.

Anyone know if the fenders are easily removed with the boat on the trailer?

Pretty simple. Easier with the boat off, but either way it isn't a difficult task.
