Trailer fenders - help needed

Good point. I could make them out of plywood too with a 1x1 frame

 

Mining belt or large truck mud flaps are quick and easy if you have access to any, too.

 

Rat rod fenders and whitewalls on a splitter. Gotta love that!

 

Wipe it with vinegar, then prime and paint. Pretty simple, really.

 

Hey Butcher what supplier are these from. I'm interested in them too.

Sent from my XT1080

 

They sell them at Home Depot and Lowes in the galvanized and do it best hardware has the plastic ones.

 

I stole that pic from here. Window Well Experts - Covers, Wells & More

But like CtRider said, almost any home improvement store should carry them.

 

They don't sell em here in California.

 

Well I ended up finding the galvanized metal ones at TSC and will need to figure out mounting as they are 32" and I have metal rails that are 31 1/4 on center so that might work. Thanks all. This trailer has been quite s project already.

 

A mixture of one part muriatic acid and two parts water brushed or sprayed on will rough up that galvanized enough to take paint.

 

I would think a 33% solution of HCl would do a job on the metal too.

Maybe. Muriatic acid as commonly sold to the public is a already a 5% solution if memory serves correct.
As cgraham1 mentioned vinegar is a common acid to use. I did not know that myself. Cheaper, safer and more future uses than Muriatic.
All I know is I had a bunch of galvanized hardware and tow chains that needed paint for decorative purposes. Seeing as I had Muriatic around the house I went that route. Worked great. Didn't remove the galvanization just roughed it up.

 

I learned the vinegar trick from my neighbor, who is a retired house painter. My downspouts are galvanized and it worked great.
