I have an old trailer that needs a fresh coat of paint. It has numerous rust areas. Rust areas are not very heavy just enough to know the paint is gone. The trailer is yellow and I would like to repaint it black. Should I prime just rust areas or apply primer to the entire trailer? I will wire brush the rust areas. Other than pressure washing what should I do to the areas that still have paint?
Thanks
Avery

Will have to clear any loose paint, and scuff the surface of the rest or will not stick for long..

use a palm sander with 120 grit paper to scuff everything up.(after wire brushing the rusts)... I like the Rustoleum Red Oxide Primer for rusted spots... Also a good primer for the old paint areas.. You dont have to put a thick coat on, just enough to  cover and let it BOND to the old paint.. Let it dry for 24 hours, then any type of enamel paint for a top coat.
