flipped the heavy bastard over..heres what it looks like underneath
the actual chassi or main frame has barely any rust on it..just a bit of surface rust. The wheels spin fine aswell when i give em a yank.

ah nice! yeh id be tempted to just sand EVERYTHING, get rid of all the flaky rusty bits and hit it with some paint.. its underside so its not going to be seen very often(hopefully!) but for piece of mind its probably best to be done.. reject shop $2. spray cans for that 
cheap n easy
Leaves Gloss Black, entire underside, Flat Black, or pimped lash out n get some silver.
with the wheels, your looking for side play to.. geab them top and bottom, wriggle, there should be no movement or tick/clunk sounds. no sounds.. no worries!
Id also do the back most back a different colour to what you do the rest of the trailer.. something that will stand out..yellow/red , nothin worse than shinning yourself!!
otherwise almost doen playin with ya trailer pic and will stick it up.. n u can play with some colour schemes..

is that rust converter the one that you wash off with the hose if it is make sure you do it on the dirt or road because it can stain the concrete. i know from experience.

adding thinners will give the paint less 'body' but application will go further.. will also give you runs and drips in your paint if your heavy handed.... Looks the goods so far mate!! its not a race so take your time and do it right the first time eh.
IF you do want to mix in some thinners.. be subtle with the amount you use.. presuming your mixing and painting out of another tin and not the primer tin?? if so.. pour aprox 4 inches of primer into your pot, and aprox 1/2 inch of thinners.. stir though thoughrouly(sp?) if its still to thin you can use the non thinned primer to thicken up a little at a time is better than to much!
Keep up the good work mate! its all about learning!
Rivet or tech screw that wind guard back on to!!
