Replacing Aluminum sheeting on trailer

[Walleyehooker]

Got some damage on my new cargo trailer from last storm. I have 2 sheets that got hit and would like to replace them. How hard is it to get the sheet off at the seem. Probably take a heat gun I'm thinking? Not sure what brand they use but its a H & H trailer charcoal metallic and their page says they use .030 sheeting. Would I have to get it from them to match or? They must get it from someone. Also how do you cut this stuff? And what does a sheet typically cost? Wondering if I could get a couple sheets from one of the places that guys get there stuff to build fish houses.

we got ours at garelick steel I think?  a pneumatic nibbler cuts them no problem.  Think we paid 40 something a sheet but the ends were damaged and I know cost depends on color. If its taped on you can cut out the tape, otherwise 3m makes a solvent to remove their tapes.  Not sure how well it works but worth a shot if your committed to replacing them.

Insurance?

Got insurance. Taking the check and going to fix it myself for a lot less than what the dealer would charge.

OK, that makes sense.
