Good morning! Back into the cold weather. Yesterday I got the trailer deck painted a nice blue green, the wood is not treated, and I figured the screw holes and knots would not last long. I had the gallon of Kilz porch paint lying around for years, it cost me six bucks at the Habitat store, I think it looks great on there. Also got the angle iron tool box brackets painted with implement paint. That preparation of raw steel has to be less labor intensive. I tried vinegar and alcohol, but it was a sanding operation and a mess. I think the result will hold up well, though. I have an old can of Devoe structural tank primer I finally got to use after saving it for fifteen or more years. That has a solvent I haven't smelled for a while....
