Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
Thanks for the link. I think the epoxy garage floor coating looks like the way to go.

Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
I use whatever paint I have left over from various jobs........... does the same thing- seals the floor.

Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
I had linoleum floors put in my trailer when I ordered it in 2008 - Interstate 1 - 20' V-Nose trailer, 9,900 rating. 8.5 ft wide
No issues with the floor. I only have about 6-7 minor marks in the linoleum, the marks have been from only stuff I haul in the trailer not the Model A. The ramp door is also covered in linoleum, The trailer had been used for 45,000-50,000 kilometres or 28,000-31,000 miles. Great Trailer |

Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
Another option would be RaceDeck flooring. Made for garage floors, it is highly resistant to oil & chemicals. I also use the poly sheeting that is on my walls to cover the drive in rear door. (from Mennards) that way they can be easily replaced.

Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
How about that spray plastic material that is used to spray pick-up truck boxes? It would certainly be durable and available in various colours to match

For those of you with linoleum, isnt it slippery when tires/your shoes are wet?

Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
Cars leak ...
Oil - gas - coolant. Drip pans can't catch everything. Unless you plan to add a disco ball - theatrical lighting to your enclosed trailer ... I got a great tip earlier this year from a high end customizer of enclosed car hauler trailers - horse mats - so I put them in my enclosed car hauler trailer. I purchased mine from them - but you can get them at YT Tractor Supply or other farm supply locations: @ http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pro...ck-4-ft-x-6-ft They paid off recently when a Model T had a leaky tank - the mat absorbed it - I just tossed the mat and got a new one.

Re: Paint for a new enclosed trailer floor
Yes the linoleum is slippery if there is a light rain and you have to be aware of that. I have slipped a couple of time on my ramp, that is covered in linoleum, in the rain.
