    Paint advise

    G'day all

    I'm in the process of rejuvinating our camper trailer. Just wondering what type of paint (Killrust, enamel etc) would you recommend. The trailer is mostly made out of checkerplate, I have given it a run over with the wire brush on the angle grinder to remove the loose stuff. Trailer has bits of surface rust etc but nothing deeper. Is it worth usinfg one of the rust converion products? What primer should I use? I am thinking about using the Septone Antichip for the underside. Not after a glossy smooth finish, but something durable etc. Any comments?

    Can't beat Hammertone, cheap $50 for 4 litres and very durable.

    POR is supposed to be great for the undercoat and rust prevention but damn expensive.
