Paint ??
I think I'd put some fenders on it.
Yes it would look better
put the trike on the trailer, & mark & place "D" rings where you are going to tie it down. go thru the owners manual & heed their cautions.and you could temp install wheel chock
for the front wheel etc. re-grease the wheel bearings.
Looks like a lot of work my brother..... days of bead blasting, painting, new wheel bearings and/or hubs...but you have the technology. I am sure it will look badass hauling your trike! You are still gunna ride your trike...aren't you? :D

Did re-grease bearings. Check with my junk yard buddy, mount some u metal profiles on floor for tires to ride in.
Looks, is not that important. Will be a week, 40 miles south of Mobile AL. for a full week. Will ride trike down there.
Looks is only skin deep. It gets a 10 for the way it pulls behind.
( trailer )
Will mount a wind deflector on front of trailer, if raining trike won't get water spray from my truck.
I would definitely put fenders & inner panels on the trailer, while it may look better it will protect your trike from [B][I][U]everything[/U][/I][/B] your trailer tires will throw in every direction including tire parts from a blown tire, even new tires can & do blow.
I just went thru a blown tire on my 18 ft open deck trailer (tire about 3 months old) a few weeks back. I was on the hi-way when the tire pressure alarm went off, but before I could get to the shoulder the tire exploded into pieces. It was the left rear trailer tire and it had rolled up 3-4 inches of the bottom edge of the fender, beat the heck out of the inner panel & it even got to a clearance light that was more than a foot behind & above the bottom edge of the fender. The only thing left of the light was the round hole, no lens, no bulb & socket, no rubber retaining ring and no wire from harness! I would hate to see what could happen to anything on the trailer without that fender!! :gah:
