Can you tell me how the paint job is / how it has held up? I was considering purchasing a trailer at tractor supply, but the new ones were rusty, thx

Thomas, Although I haven't owned it long enough to say how the paint will hold up, it was nicely primed and painted. There were some spots that were scratched and starting to rust. Shipping and handling, I suppose. I just got some gloss black Rustoleum paint and touched it up. Doesn't match perfect, but it's just a utility trailer! It's quite a job to assemble this thing, but I kind of enjoy that sort of project. The folding feature is cool, but not something you will want to do often because a couple of the bolts are tough to get to after you put a deck on. All in all, I think it's a cleverly designed, and fairly well built light duty trailer. Hope this helps

I sold my jeep but can tell you it was a rugged ridge poster child. They make quality stuff. I had my jeep off-road. The rugged ridge took a beating. I did end up painting it so when I scratched it I could easily touch it up. I like the fact if you bang up an end you can change it out. There also several options as far as the look you want. I would recommend it 100%

no it isnt Rusty....It did rip out one of the corner grommets as others have said but you can fix with a new grommet on the zipper end. We had a blast with it though and cant wait to use it again this summer. Its very heavy, just so you know...I didnt

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

Flat black maybe with a light gloss. We put 2 more coats of paint on it to make sure it lasts! Our truck is 15 years old and was to the point where even the frame had rusted through in a couple of places. We cleared the rust and painted and it's good for another 15!

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

I have had one for two months outside ,and I would recommend that you seal the seat screw holes with possibly a caulk or rust prevented (Rustolium ) as this is the only criticism I have of this chair.I found that within a week or so,rustmarks were appearing. I have already bought a second one and will be certainly be doing that. The paint finish is probably a polyurethane finish ,that would be just a guess!

It held up pretty good for the summer. I used it in my horse trailer. Over the winter months though I am going to need to replace the sticky part that holds it up.

I've had mine for quite some time (in silver) and it hasn't rusted yet. It's still in pretty good condition too. Seems to hold up well against everyday wear and tear.

The best I can compare it to is a rust/orange color. I will also add this color fades in direct sun pretty badly after a couple months. I have to beige one also and noticed no color change. Great item for the price.

I've had it on my chevy tracker for over a year now and it has held up fine there is some surface rust but nothing major. I love the looks and sound of it.

I have mine outside, does great so far. Just like most thing, don't scratch the paint and it will last a long time, for the price you can't beat it.

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.

I believe it is. Mine has been out since the fall and I don't see any signs of rust yet.

The original paint is holding up pretty well so far. If you plan to paint over it I would suggest sanding it first.

Yes, there is some surface rust; but, it does not seem to cause any problems with efficacy, given a few drops of oil on the moving parts and a spray or two of WD-40 from time to time. It seems to be made of reasonably decent steel, not stainless; but, a little surface rust helps it blend into the environment.
