[QUOTE="CowChick97, post: 1087253, member: 21723"] So we have an older stock/cattle trailer (not exactly sure on its age) that has rust. It's still a very solid trailer. All the rust is on the surface. My first question is how can I get rid of the rust? I'd also like to repaint it as there are spots where the paint has chipped off and has faded to reveal a different color. I 'researched' and most people sand the rust then prime then paint the trailer. Is that the best way to do it? I'd rather this be a D-I-Y kind of project so it doesn't get too expensive. After I fix the rust issue how can I make it more designed to haul horses? There is a middle divider, the floor is wooden, and there is wire panel to help with animal stability(we've never had an cow with sore feet after hauling). What could I do to put over the top as a roof? Here's a picture of Ol' Rusty: [url=http://s1235.photobucket.com/user/LaraLeigh1997/media/cff6cf59-3519-4515-bd06-556b3d0fd41c_zps371faea2.jpg.html][img]http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff430/LaraLeigh1997/cff6cf59-3519-4515-bd06-556b3d0fd41c_zps371faea2.jpg~original[/img][/url] (By the way, not everything is rusted. It actually is like a reddish/orangeish rust kind of color for some odd reason.) [/QUOTE]
