I used the Rust Oleum truck bed coating on mine last year. It has held up ok, there are a couple places that it peeled up from, but not too bad. I haul 4 sleds in my trailer for 4 trips between MN and WY each season. I also have a race car in my trailer every week throughout the summer. So overall I am pretty happy. My biggest problem in the winter is it can get slippery when you get snow in the trailer. If I use it again I will probably add more non-skid stuff into it prior to applying it.
Here is a link to it at Walmart. I didn't get mine at Walmart, but this is the same as what I used.

Hope that helps.

If you do a search in this 4M, there is a pretty good thread on it. I plan on using the following product:

Spencer are you trying to touch up/protect a floor you have now or it this a new application on a new to you trailer?
My preference is indoor / outdoor carpet. Carbides don't cut it, you can steer the sleds normally, the only down side I've noticed is rust stains over time where the skis are normally sitting, but they wash off easily in the summer when you give'r a good cleaning.
How are you fastening the carper down in the trailer?
I have 2 sets of tie downs running the full length of the trailer.
Thanks
It is glued to the plywood deck.
Thank you
Doesn't it get moldy/mildewy?
Surprisingly no, of course mine is all plastic like AstroTurf. But I have seen some done with a deep nap plush pile and even Berber carpet. You of course need to dry It out once or twice a winter if possible and let it air dry in the summer.
