Boating content!!!

Need some input. My Boat trailer needs to be redone (Badly) and I finally pulled the trigger on having Adrenalin Re-do it. I need some input on color.

Option 1 - repaint it the standard white (current color).

Option 2 - Silver/Grey (metallic maybe) to match the Gel coat stripe, sea deck and interior.

Option 3 - Purple to match the Gel coat stripe (never mind, don't even mention this.. I'm not doing purple).

Leaning heavily towards the "Adrenalin Silver/Grey"....

I know the white is probably the safe choice, But...

The comments about the grey not being able to see it under water is something I never thought about however. Appreciate all the comments!!
Try seeing a black trailer at night 🤣

the dark metallic silver isn't that bad in the water. Yes, it doesn't stand out like white, but it doesn't vanish once it goes in. I think the comment about doing a new white trailer on an older faded boat would be something to think about more if going white.

My trailer [ fotografix ] came white with my 20 Spectra in 1976. 15 some yrs later I've had it repainted blue, my favourite colour. Got rid of the bar link for the bow eye and made a ss cover over the surge brake actuator. Had that boat for 26yrs and loved it
Being mostly white is old school, but become boring after a while.
I'll vote for nice gray for accent on your trailer, since you've got stripe already.

With that said, My preference would be to choose a medium silver/grey that matches the lightest portion of your graphic. If the boat graphic has pearl or metallic choose something that matches the grain. Do the "Extreme" logo white with purple accents. I would also consider having the CF numbers hand painted in complimenting colors. Just my 2 cents

White with a 10-11” stainless fender and a polished wheel.
Right before Mike “Springfield” got sick he went through this same deal. He decided to match his pearl white F150 with his trailer vs the boat and it came out amazing.
