solar radiation, polished metal and white paint
If you are looking fo a cheap job (cheap is emphasised,
no flames please) you can paint aluminium with an ordinary roller and household gloss, eg Dulux enamels, I hope Dulux is recognisable in the USA. Yes, I do know that if you're going to paint Alu properly then you use epoxy etch primer and a decent topcoat, but the raw materials alone are still going to be about 400ish dollars, trailers have a big surface area. Compare this with 10 litres of household gloss, no flames please, this is a cheap suggestion, it works and has lasted for 5 years so far.
