Here's after new paint. It took 13 cans of Wal Mart special blue spray paint to do 3 coats

And now finished: New paint, custom removable fender brackets, new aluminum diamondplate fenders, custom bed extensions, 2 coats of Herculiner on the bed, new wheels & 2500lb tires.

nice handy work, how much do the fenders cost? not sure if i personally would have that color but your not me. nice work though.

how much you buy the trailer for and how much do you have into it if you dont mind me asking?

nice work. good trailers like that bring decent money around here. I could find a good home for it if you want to part with it.

The fenders were $136/ea. I paid $1700 for the trailer in November, $400 for the tires & wheels, $20 in paint, $70 in Herculiner & supplies, and about $100 in steel for the bed extensions. All in all I have about $2600 into it. A brand new 10klb trailer w/ stationary fenders goes for $3200 or so.

Mine's not a TRUE 10klb because the axles are rated at 3500lbs each, but I have 10klbs in tire capacity, so I'm not too terribly concerned. I only tow 8000lbs with it, and figuring a 15% tongue weight on the truck, I'm right at 6500 axle weight on the trailer.
