Default Paint ideas needed?

Should I paint the trailer the same as the car? Or what? Any ideas?

What do you tow in that trailer?
didn't even think that it was possible...learn something every day.
yes, I think that you should match it up. Just with the pattern on the front, though.

I'd keep it white and add the same graphics!

Do alot of travel to shows and whatever. Mostly tent, chairs, cleaning supplies, luggage and whatever else you want. But don't forget still room for the golf clubs.

IMO, the trailer needs something to complement the graphics scheme on your car. Perhaps using some photo editing software, you could come up with something that looks nice. Good luck!

apparently somebody didn't read their manual.

slicksilver11, you aren't supposted to tow anything with your c5. So before you go out and get your UHaul ready, stop.

yeh, I think i'd carry the checkered flag theme across.

edit:

maybe not.

Good job on the graphic on the trailer. And as far as the manual and towing, it works great. I go to bike week every year and take the vette and the harley.

Yes, I would put something similar to what you have on the car. Pretty nice trailer you have. Would certainly come in handy to drag all the supplies in.
