Can't help with the price of a trailer service. I got a friend of mine who's a mechanic to check it over, it cost me a drink....didn't realise how thirsty he was though.

I painted an old trailer of mine myself. I didn't spray, you need a large enclosed barn otherwise the spray goes everywhere. I used the correct car paint & primer but used a small gloss roller & the finish was really very good. Make sure you prepare the trailer well though as the finish will reflect that. Have a go, you'll save a fortune.

Thanks very much - all your answers have been brill and I hope you dont mind me asking you one last question...
How do you do the priming and painting. I have read a few articles and have the idea I would need to wire rub it down, spray on the primer and then paint on the colour but im not too sure if this is correct...I am quite pratical and know I would rather paint it myself if I can, but I just want to be correct in what I am doing making sure it does not result in purple or pink...ekkk...apologise if people like those colours...
thanks again for all your advice :0)
