Technically trailer, my square body trailer. Tailgate? Is that john deere yellow?
Why yes it is! I painted on a cleaned up surface on the top half and the back, where stuff contacts, and I sprayed it over with krylon JD yellow and clear coatted satin to finish it all off. Isnt perfect, I ran short of JD yellow so the bottom has some old brown poke through.
From it all, id say the best thing was discovering krylon spray paint. It was spendy, but its all my store had 2nd week in a row, so i said "sure hope this color matches rustoleum, im gonna send it" and it did color match, but it lays down very matte. clear satin put it right where i wanted. But the spray tip is nice and dont make finger sore or get painted, and the pattern is large, yet easily manageable to allow quick application while not making messes. i made two over spray by going slowly, and 1 was on purpose to get a feel for speed and distance, the other was around the pierced metal on the outside of tailgate as i was trying to coat immediately inside it to look yellow. Im painting it JD yellow soley because i started and its the only yellow I had a can of, and I had the idea to make my tailgate more conspicious because my trailer looks like the rear of a truck on the road. and a bright yellow tailgate catches the eye and makes you focus. I plan to do black for body panels, ive done rust restorer where rust had developed and i need to go over with black. Thinking matte black and quick satin clear, not anything fancy they are just ****** rust, beat up bedsides. oh, who am I kidding, lets go find me some over the top john deere green, farmall red, and oliver green and just make a theme of it all
