I would want to go with bright Red again. What is the best material to buy and from whom? Any idea on price doing the labor myself? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jay

I never replaced all of the panels on a trailer, but I had to replace two due a bad driver backing his truck into the trailer. It was not hard to do but getting the panels was not that easy in my market. You may want to call the maker of the trailer and see if they can ship you the replacements.Have you considered sanding the panels down and painting it yourself?
