Once again we see the creativity of TD builders and their individuality. It is a nice effect that you you won't see coming around the corner at you any time soon. One of a kind.
I wanted the "woody" look. Everything, inside and out, is triple coated with satin finish varnish hand brushed. I keep it in the garage and am not worried about the effects of the Sun.

I'v sprayed bedliner for 12 years and it is a VERY cool product. I'm planning on spraying my new build ( 12 x 7 ), roof, sides, everything. It will be white with a UV top coat. Here's the scoop. There are 3 type of bedliner material.
1) low pressure (Rhino, Vortex and Tuff liners) they have a softer, marbled surface. sprays a little thicker than other liners because is softer.
2) High pressure/ high temp liners (Line-x, Ameriguard, Stone liner ect. Harder material, tighter pattern on the surface, no runs or drips. can be sprayed thinner.
3) Roll on stuff ( Can-O-Liner) do it yourself product. small areas GREAT, big areas CRAP. I use it all the time for small jobs.

This stuff can be HEAVY. Make sure that the surface is as smooth as if your going to paint it. This way you dont have to put more material on the cover holes and bumps. This will drive up the cost and weight. With the hot,high temp system I have all projects can be color matched (base coat color close, top coat OEM colors) make sure they use a UV product top coat.

I'v sprayed the roof of a museum quality 1930's trailer and it turned out great. I'll have mine done in a month or two and will take alot of photo's as it gets sprayed.

Well which one would you recomend? Im building a smaller one so i dont imagine that the weight of the liner could be that much.
What would I need?
Sand the trailer ? Prime it? or just get the rhino line and spray it on? Also as far as color goes? are there many choice? is the white paintable? I have a long way to go before im at this stage but I wanted to get things hased out before I actually do it

I would go with a high temp system ( Line-X type stuff) . make sure the wood has a good primer on it. it will cost a bit more but will look great.

Greag755, I like Durabak, it's a roll on type. You can get it in a textured or smooth, has a light orange peel texture finish.

I will normally use three coats on the front of a trailer for protection from rock chips

It does come in different color. From sealing the underside I use CPES.

I'm sorry I had Line-X shot onto the bottom of my light-weight woody. It made it heavier than I had expected,,,,,,,Bummer.
