Can i repaint my boat trailer, with some cheap exterior paint from a hardware store?

i have a 1987 16' spartan roller boat trailer, i don't have a lot of money to spend on some good marine paint so i was wondering if i could buy some wheather excelled paint from like a hardware store or something, and avoid rust for a long time to come


I assume this isn't a wooden trailer. Painting metal is more difficult than painting a house. Metal tends to not want to hold paint and if you just put it on, it will peal off quickly. Use an automotive primer and paint.

thanks


Both are good for salt water, hot dipped is a little better because it is put on a little thicker, but I would not be afraid to use either one.
