I have this trailer that I made with a military surplus bed.

Now that warmer weather has come, I can think about painting it.

The bed has some rust spots and such. I would like to know if there is
a way to paint it such that it will only need minor maintenance from
now on.

As an extra tidbit, I have 16 aerosol cans with "93% zinc paint". It
seems to be good stuff.

So, my plan for the INSIDE of the bed is to take a angle grinder, with
a 6" wire brush, do a decent wire brushing job, and simply apply this
ZINC spray paint on the inside. I do expect to do some touching up
once in a while as the bed gets scratched, etc, but I hope that it
would just be a few minuts per year.

My thoughts, also. A small sandblaster would make fast work for the
serious rust spots.
