Paint

I have 2003 Wildwood 38bhds. My paint is worn off and made big mistake using GOO GONE on trailer. Is it possible to roll new paint on instead of spraying? What paint do I use? Or does it have to be sprayed - in which I would have to pull out. Please advise

You roll paint on walls! I would spray if a good buffing did not work or sell

Rolling on would look pretty bad. Have an automotive paint store make up the color you need and put it in an aerosol can if you only have a small area to repair.

How big of an area do you want to paint? If it's just a spot repair where the Goo Gone ruined your paint, perhaps you can put a small decal there?


I doubt that you will ever be able to match the original paint without it being noticeable, like overspray around the area, etc.


I have an old (1999) Wildwood with corrugated aluminum sides and used Goo Gone and a heat gun extensively to remove lots of tape glue residue and none of the paint was affected. I wonder what the difference was??
