2017 5x10 dump trailer mostly just the bed is rusting.Catching it before any weak spots or holes in the floor.Does anyone have a recommendation on coating the bed.I do have a medium duty sand blaster and practically every other tool known to man.I also have a airless sprayer set up with fluid film but that I think would make it so a coating would never stick.Thanks in advance guys and gals.

Maybe just keep it oiled....???

We have one that has looked like that for 25 years and no holes yet lol.just keep using it

Paint of course, but it might be hard to keep paint on it. I'd look at one of the slick coating paints like gatorglide that they use on the hulls of airboats.

not using it enough.Wear will keep the rust out.

Road armor but if you use rock much it will chip.

what do you haul?

Walmart has $1 cans of black spray paint. Just paint it every use maybe

Epoxy primer sealer.

Go to where local car painter guys buy
and ask same question.

UHMWPE sheet. If it is not used commercially it will probably last forever.

Rhino line. A lot of truck boxes in this country have a heavy duty plastic mat that goes down on the floor.

Dirt,rock,brush,leaves,furniture so kind of my utility trailer that was bought for a major house and landscaping project and it’s just to handy to get rid of.

My dump truck bed gets sprayed with diesel every now and then. But if u r gonna haul rocks paint is going to come off. Rhino liner or fluid film will make the dirt stick and u will have to shovel out what sticks. Just put the bed up a little when not using it. Water will run out.

if you didn't need to put clean stuff in it , I would say fluid film or even waste oil in a sprayer , tip it up and spray it down whenever you are leaving it out to store.

that or plan on pressure washing it out once a year , wire wheel any spots starting to rust and get a coat of enamel paint on it.

probably also fluid film the frame and underside

I’m definitely going to wire wheel the loose powder coat off as it’s always wet and rusting away underneath.I did fluid film underneath when I bought it and that held up well.

Speed Dip that bad boy

Buy a gallon of DTM paint .....and a 9" roller

Take you about 15 minutes to coat it including clean up

Repeat when needed

Easy peasy

do you have some wood blocks to set the bed down on so that it is always at enough angle that no water sits in it?

I would try paint for a while and see how it holds

X 2 on what GUK suggested the UHMWPE sheet will keep it safe . I can't imagine how many sleds have been built with it and the number or truck boxes that haul sugarbeets , potatoes and grain without any problems what so ever .

Then the next day they can haul gravel once again with little or no trouble .

We had to put slip plate on a dump bed to get wood chips to slide out. It's a graphite coating.
