Stupid trailer tricks . . .

​Have you considered contacting Bushtec to see about buying just the lid? I'm guessing it would be expensive, but you never know.

According to their web site, they want $184 just for the vinyl bra. I'm sure the lid would be more expensive than painting. Also the side needs to be painted, too.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Thanks, Mike. My brother has extensive experience painting cars, motorcycles, airplanes, etc. He said he'd help me with the filler and sanding. I don't know if going around with bondo showing (Camaro style) or the scrapes showing would be better.

Patti, this could be a one day job. The products they have now work super fast, very little wait time................. But then again I'm not a professional ..... I'm an Amateur DIY 'er ...... Look at Deanna777's Dash ...... amateur job ............best of luck .... Mike :thumbup:

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but wouldn't this be covered under your insurance?

Though the trailer is covered by my Spyder insurance, the deductible is higher than the repair cost.

I was just going to mention that possibility... :thumbup:

:hun: ....... However , in order for Patti to use this She would have to buy a Metal ( steel ) trailer and wreck it. IMHO it's not cost effective :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: .......... Mike

:shocked: That thing probably wouldn't stick to very many cars or trucks these days... :gaah:

But it's a neat idea!! :clap:

Thanks.

I found something similar on Amazon that are stickers/decals. I may order one or two and use them until I can get it repaired.

Decades ago I saw a fairly new 1966 Ford with a bad scrape/dent along one front fender. Just above that was a professional-looking job of painted lettering that said, "SOUVENIR OF THE SANTA ANA FREEWAY, mm/dd/yy". Are you pretty handy at painted lettering? Maybe with a nail polish jar? :doorag:

You could even just paint the words, "OW" "OUCH" (etc.) in strategic places. :roflblack:

So, how are your trailer & bra doing?

No change yet. Plan to put some black duck tape over the tear in the bra and my bro said he could fix the snap that tore off. All the scrapes, etc. are still there. I learned at SF that wrap won't stick to bondo, so I'll have to at least prime it if I decide not to paint. It may be my winter project.
