Keeping a trailer frame from rusting

Ignoramus28180 · 2012-11-21T03:46:18+00:00

I have a Transcraft Tl-2000 semi trailer, which is in a remarkably decent condition, considering it is 17 years old. It has superficial surface rust, but no through holes or big pieces or rust falling off. It was owned by a construction cmpany prior to me buying it at auction, and it was probably not used much during winter. Well I will need to use it during winter, so, my question, how to rust proof it cheaply. (it cost me only $1.5k plus buyer premium). Say, can I spray some oil on the frame every couple of months? Would that work satisfactorily? i

The undercoating I sprayed on the wheelbarrows that didn't do that (so far) is TMP Rubber Soundproofing Undercoat from Taylor Made Products. The wheelbarrows see only rainwater and condensation, not road salt. There may have been a residue of LPS-3 in the surface rust before I sprayed the undercoating. jsw
