DIY Open Trailer Renovation! Before and After. Taking my Trailer to the Next Level with Rustoleum.

What happens here

The rear gate, which features an expanded metal mesh design, is painted to match the trailer's protective black finish. The presenter uses a small paint roller to cover the large mesh surface, ensuring paint penetrates all angles of the expanded metal. Following the roller, a paintbrush is used to meticulously cover any remaining unpainted spots, hinges, or surrounding solid metal bars, ensuring comprehensive rust protection and a consistent appearance for this high-wear area of the trailer.

Goal: Paint the expanded metal rear gate/ramp using a small roller for broad coverage and a brush for detailed areas and hinges.
