Good job! Stain the wood!! It would look a TON better IMO. Not that it doesn't good as is.

And props to you for doing that. I hate it when people spend butt loads of money on their cars, only to have a POS looking trailer. Whenever I get a trailer, you best be sure it'll be painted to match whatever color truck I have at the time. And of course, it'll have a nice set of rims on it too, LOL.

Looks good... rather than stain, I would recommend using wood dye. If you want a dark color - a water based dye will be a lot easier and faster.

Yours turned out really great. Go get some cheap porch and floor paint and paint the boards. I have about 3 coats on mine. Here's what I did with mine after a couple family members told me to spruce mine up.

Started out.
