Well, to go back with white over red I think would be kinda difficult I would think. The brown color might work I guess. I think I would almost leave it like it is though.

Is the trailer brand new? How is the paint that is on it now?

I once painted my open trailer a john deere green color. I really liked it. It certainly caught people's attention. But I re-painted it black now.

If it were me............I would go with white. Then no matter what color truck you get next time it will match. A brown trailer and a blue truck might not look good together and you would want to paint the trailer again, just my 2 cents worth

IMO, if ya spend the $$$ for an enclosed trailer you should get it the same color as whats hauling it, it just looks more professional. Ours just happens to be white (which our truck is) but its tough to keep it looking clean. We sometimes have to use pretty harsh chemicals and I'm thinking that might hurt the new paint.

I'd say white or black. The trailer matching the truck always looks good, especially with an enclosed, but if you end up buying a different truck down the road that's a different color, then you've gotta re-paint the trailer again...

Use the brown lettering and logo watever you want on there.Use the same color of your truck but use the brown on the trailer.Would be cheaper and easier 2 do good luck.

I think white is going to be your most popular color.
When I was looking at purchasing our enclosed trailer I wanted a different color then what everyone else had. White trailers were everywhere and I wanted one that stood out more so I went for metalic green. In this picture it looks almost black but in the sunlight it's really a pretty color.

Go with white so it stays cooler in the sun and then use lettering or striping in green and the color of your truck to tie it in. I had the lettering and graphics done on white aluminum signs so I could just rivet them onto the trailer and if I sell or trade it the signs come off to go on my new trailer and just leave a few small holes to fill. Also, the lettering on the signs looks smoother if you have external screws on the sides of the trailer.

My lettering is bottle green same as my truck... Mine is pretty basic though and for all four signs it ran about $260. But, I can use them over and over again if I trade trailers.
