I`ve done some custom paint when I was a little younger. The advice I`ve read here about pre cleaning with a silicon remover and degreaser is something you should follow...especially around any mouldings. I don`t know if you had it since new, but products like armour all have been a real nightmare for me (people using these type of products to shine up the rubber moulding have made it difficult to even get tape to stick let alone paint) what are you doing for a primer? How is it for pin holes? Prep work can be very intensive depending on what result you expect. I doubt your success without sanding. (I have many hours of sanding down to 600 grit that I wish I didn`t have to do)
I can understand the matching car and trailer combo, but these frp trailers tend to be rather "wiggly"...I know mine is..(if you look down the side of your unit when it is wet and you can see "waves" in the surface, it is accentuated by a dark and shiny colour.) I`ve got lots of work to "hide" this on other frp vehicles with stripes and murals.
Good luck with it.
