Triple three has a new hitch, now the question. Paint to match truck or wrap it to match?

Beautiful truck! I think it looks best with the dump trailer.

Keith, I like dump trailers, but there is something about that toy hauler! I think it would look very sharp painted to match the truck. The stripe, and how you carry it through will really pull the combination together!

Thanks Nathan, I am surely leaning that way, lots of lights and some sort of racing logo will end up on it.

What a perfect match, fit, look.....Words can't describe how much the toy hauler and the truck fit together! I thought the dump trailer was perfect till I saw this.
Toy hauler painted to match and this is one of the best truck n trailer combos for sure!

Thanks Robert,

I had to get a tri axle lowboy to handle the load, LOL.

The fenders are fiberglass with a gel coat finish, like a vette finish, almost ready for paint.

Think I'll try a tilt nose on my next build.

The trailer looks great Keith! Does it have aluminum rims on it? No shortage of things to haul! That's cool.

Thanks Nathan, yes I put a set of Steve,s rims on it. I want to paint it but the "Seaboard" material is hard to paint.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 
Those rims are beautiful. I don't think many guys put them on their trailers! Nice touch. I don't know much about the seaboard material, but perhaps a primer for hard plastics would do the trick? It kind of looks like derlin to me, but I know you can't get paint to stick to that very well. Doesn't Krylon have some special primer for this kind of thing?

Thanks Nathan,

I am pretty sure Travis said it was seaboard material. I'm going to try a few different paints and primers on a piece I have left over from my last trailer.
