Flood coating a box trailer with rivets – advice needed
Hi All, Ive got this to flood coat in dark grey. What material would you recommend for this bearing in mind there are a lot of rivets to deal with? Thanks in advance.

We did a catering trailer similar, used Metamark M7A, and a wall vinyl roller applicator on the rivets, might have needed to prick a few to let the air escape but it worked a treat.

i would use any range of cast film, my weapon of choice is avery 800.

Are they rivets or big flat caps about the size of a 2p coin with a nasty rubber grommet around it ?

I would go with Oracal 970RA.

I find the quickest way is to undo the coach bolts, fit vinyl refit bolts you can cover the bolts easy when out if you want.

Thanks all, will def go with an air release for ease of fitting. I hadn’t thought about removing the rivets. They are dome head but not sure about rubber grommets.
Oracal is my day to day material so will have a look at the 970, cheers -
The 970R is fairly nice stuff to work with. We’ve been using it a fair bit recently

used it for the first time today, quite impressed. Will defo use 970 again
