For a cheapo occsional use utility trailer, I would second the application of cheap oil based paint (like Rustoleum or "tractor" paint) either by brushing or spraying. Just knock off the loose stuff with a wire brush and paint it. It will stay relatively nice looking for quite awhile.
Of course this is not the "best" way to do it, but it is a utility trailer not a show car. I have restored/built many projects over the years that I have blasted, etched, epoxy primed, Imron painted.... That said, I have also painted a "used trailer" with black Rustoleum and after 7 years or so of occasional use and occasional sitting out in the weather, it still looks black and does not show any rust. Hate to see you waste huindreds of hours and dollars to put show car quality paint on an occasional use utility trailer you got for free.
