Anyone ever painted an RT-622? Good results? What paint/prep etc?
What would you think about painting a RT-622 trailer? Has anyone here ever tried it? How were the results?
Any recommendations on what kind of preparation is necessary? What kind of paint would you use?

Driving Lights (Very bright to improve my sight)
Floorboard Lights and Turn Signals (I like to be seen)

Chrome Wheels (Because the beautiful stock wheels just weren't good enough)
Front Fender Sequential Reflector Lights (I was wondering what to do with my paycheck)
My current Spyder is a 2020 RT Limited that I bought in March of 2020. My three previous Spyders were all pearl white as was my RT622 trailer. As soon as a bought my 2020 I took my trailer to a body shop and had it painted to match my chalk Spyder. They computer matched my paint.
I think it turned out pretty nice.

What paint you use depends on the material. The professionals at a paint shop should know what type paint to use. I never painted a Spyder trailer, but I have painted boats and kayaks. For any material that needs to flex, the paint must also flex or it will peel. Don't even remember now what paint type it was. I asked a friend who painted a lot of car and motorcycle parts and he gave me the name of the paint type to use on the canoes and kayaks. Most likely find an answer to paint type on the web now, if you know the material to be painted.
Did you do a search of the forum? There have been several posts the past few years about owners painting their trailers.
