I have a twin boat trailer, only 2 Yrs old and the dreaded rust started on wheels ... Even though these trailers cost almost £5k ... they don't like salt water that much. I don't want to do the standard approach of painting on Hammerite - it is simply no good on marine trailers ...
Pic of minor wheel corrosion here ...
As it's out of season want to attend to these, my plan is: # wire brush off all rust, and overall key surface # wash down well to remove any oil # spray 2 coats of UPOL #8 Acid Etch Primer # spray 3 coats of extra durable wheel # spray 2 coats clear lacquer
That would with the exception of shot blast back to bare metal seems to me to be a good approach.
One thought I had was after wire brushing off rust, applying Ku-Rust, but when I asked Ku-Rust technical they advised if that was case I would have to forgo an acid based primer as that would lift off any KU-rust treated parts.
Anybody got any tips or suggestions on above approach ?
