i just picked up a  1976 specta and the trailer need a fresh coat of paint, can i use car paint? or is there a type of paint i should use?

yes use auto paint. you are going to want to use a really good primer. like a dp40 or 90. and a really good quality paint . so you wont have to do it again. good luck!

If you paint it white, the rust streaks will show easily down the road. I painted my old boat trailer about ten years ago. I did it at home and it would've turned out to be a good job except, Zieman, who sold me the paint, reducer and hardener... Sold me paint, reducer and another can of reducer with hardener labeled on it. It never cured and I ended up just buying a new trailer. I was 17 years old and didn't know a sneeze from a wet fart so I didn't question it when I was mixing 

ok this is just an oppion but dont put bedliner material on your trailer! it may look good for a LITTLE WHILE ! but it wont last. and then you will be scraping it off. and trust me it does not come off easy. dont do it.

i talked to a spray on bedliner guy a while ago about doing a trailer. they said they CAN do it, but the gun they use to spray the material shoots like a 10" fan, so when they'd shoot the trailer most of the material would end up on the floor wasted.  plus with all the little nooks and crannies it would just end up costing a lot. thats why i was looking into the roll on solution. 

plus it cant be that hard to remove if i dont like it.... little bit of aircraft stripper pulls it right off. 

And I think the resto bed liner (it comes in a rattle can) works pretty good. Seen it on a few different applications, I just don't want something that is going to cost a grip and only look real good for a few years.
