along with the refurb of the boat I have to get the trailer inspected. It never had fenders. I got them on ebay and painted them with Rustoleum with a reducer and hardner I had. I used a Husky HVLP gun. I then built a dolly and got the boat on the dolly with the help of the old mans bucket loader. Here are some pics.

Good call on the Rustoleum. When thinned and hardened is some excellent paint for the money. You can even roll it on with a foam roller and it self levels so well that the gloss is fantastic, even better if you color sand and buff. I have also sprayed House of Kolor clear over it with excellent results. Hot Rod actually did an article on painting cars with it last month. It's what I used to paint my whole trailer and I was pretty suprised how well it turned out.
did you mix the thinner and hardner all at once?

Not sure I understand you question. I use the 8-1-2 method. This means 8 parts paint, 1 part hardner, and 2 parts reducer. So the batches I made for my HVLP gun I mixed up 16 oz of paint and 2 oz hardner and 4 oz of reducer.

What brand reducer and hardeners are you using for the rustoleum? How quick can you re coat using the hardener? Thanks in advance...

I am using Nasson medium reducer and Nasson Hardner. It flashes pretty fast with the hardner.
