Considering that your trailer is 19 years old, I would have the entire trailer repainted. You can have a body shop give you a quote using single stage paint which is less expensive that a base coat clear coat. In the long run you will be happier with results having it completely repainted versus a repair.

I know this won’t make you feel better, but you will experience way more problems than this in your lifetime. For a trailer that age, this would be a perfect time for a large decal (possibly business or sponsor) to cover the scratches. Both sides and no one will know ….CHEERS …..

Talk to Gold Rush about possible solutions. They certainly have experience with this.

Possibly replace one panel and buff the rest of that side may work.

Isn't Marty Rinehart a Goldrush employee? He may be able to help.

Get an estimate for the insurance company of the guy who did it.


ETA...I hate when stupid people tear up my stuff and then act like it's no big deal. "It's just a trailer"

You could leave the scratch alone and go racing.

Your suggestion may be the best. Does this trailer have the overlapping panels? My guess is those seams will be difficult to prevent flaking at.

There are zero marks on either side until now.
