Re: trailer!!!

Paint it a matching green. All I care about is protecting the trailer from rust.

Re: trailer!!!

Paint it to your taste. Heck, mine is still bare aluminum with new axles I painted white. I painted the axles in hopes to make them last a few years.

It doesn't matter what we think, paint it whatever color YOU want. As TD said, Rustoleum has a good selection of colors.

Re: trailer!!!

You asked what color would look good. Someone said paint it green to match the boat which is what many of the higher end boat manufacturers do. You then ask would brown look good? We don't know what your idea of what looks good is. You apparently think brown looks good or you wouldn't have mentioned it. So paint it brown -- the rust that will eventually occur will not be so noticeable.
