You are in a tough spot my friend. As they stated you can't prove it's your trailer. Did the previous owner have it on the street with a tag? Only thing I can think of is maybe you can register it as a homebuilt? Good luck.

What batteries are you running and what was the voltage of the batteries before you installed them? Don't take for granted that since something is new it's free from defect. Not saying this is the cause of the problem but you have to be mythological I.e. baby steps when diagnosing. Goid luck...
What is the thickness of the steel? If it is a light gauge sheet metal it will do little if anything to protect the truck. I like the idea of these as long as the function (protect) as they should.

I'm a big fan of the behr paints. I'd go with the Satin as it looks better (IMHO), Dirt does not stick to it as it does with flat paints and does not show finger prints or oil smears like the flats can. Anything more than satin shows every imperfection and also shows slight waves in the hood...
I had many issues with the glow plug system. My biggest problem was a box. The main solenoid got stuck and fried the plugs. PITA. Anyway got everything sorted out and I made a very quick video on how I tested the system. Hooked up a volt meter to the pass rear glow plug (alligator clips) and...
