What happens here
After cleaning and masking, inspect the trailer's interior walls and ceiling for any imperfections. Sand down any rough spots, old peeling paint, or rust patches to create a smooth and even surface. If significant rust is present, treat it with a rust-inhibiting solution or primer. For bare metal or inconsistent surfaces, apply a coat of high-quality primer suitable for the type of material (e.g., metal primer, all-purpose primer). This step ensures better paint adhesion and a more durable finish. Allow the primer to dry completely as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Goal: Ensure optimal paint adhesion and durability for the new color
