Hi,

Anybody (am sure there are) more techy savvy on the web to offer some pics of any 2-tone charcoal gray in front and indigo blue in back enclosed trailer pics?  I looked and cannot find any at all online.   I instead for now ordered an all charcoal gray 7x23' snowmobile trailer on Friday pretty much at wholesale factory pricing since I cannot find any pics of gray/blue 2-tone trailers on the internet.  Mfg. said I have a week or so to decide on color but said it will look sharp just rarely made for some reason.  They say about only 2% of enclosed trailer sales have indigo blue as a color which I think looks sharp over black in back but not 100% sure on that.  I saw last week driving my Valk (there it is Valk related)  in Dubuque IA a 7x27' charcoal gray/black in back and did not like the 2-tone combo thinking all charcoal would be a better choice.  Black looks dirty much quicker and although breaks up the all charcoal gray color down the middle of the trailer, it didn't do much for me in terms of looks.

All say all charcoal gray color 15-20 years from now will sell much quicker than gray/blue 2-tone unless someone like me has a dark blue truck since gray is a neutral color everyone likes.  I've seen silver and charcoal or gray/black,  but never gray/blue. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

thanks Jersey Mike for the 2 pics.  No idea on how you found them, but much appreciated.

Looks better than I thought it would.  Agree? 

My 7x23' snow trailer with 6" extra height with rounded top will be similar to this std. flat top trailer in those 2 pics but have a front ramp door on left side slightly longer is all by a few more feet and the divider aluminum strip is dead center in between tires vs. these 2 pics is in front of the front tire so will have 1-2 feet more of charcoal gray (1/2 and 1/2).

whatcha all think,  stick with the norm being all charcoal gray or gray/blue like these 2 pics?  Planning on keeping it for 15-20 years or so I hope so resale in first 5-10 years is not probably going to be needed.  I usually have dark blue trucks but have been known to change to maroon red or dark green trucks a few times, but mostly dark blue which I prefer the most.

I like the 2 tone paint. If you are really planning to keep it for 15+ years, get what you want and worry about resale later. If it gets scratched or dented down the road you can get it painted before resale or by then a contractor or landscaper may scoop it up as is for a work trailer. If you're worried about longevity, I would be sure the chassis is weatherproof, maybe have it under coated.

Keep a good coat of wax on it and keep an eye on the welds,especially the top seams and it should last a long time.

Good luck with it and have fun with it, don't worry about the resale now.
