Now before I put the really big ones on the side of the trailer, I need some help figure out a better way of dealing with the fastners holding the trailer panels on!

I have heard of using a tennis ball to help mold the vinyl around the rivets.

Great job!  I used a really stiff brush when I put a logo on a trailer and that helped to mold around the "bumps and curves".

unless you plan on doing alot of trailers with rivets or buttonhead bolts, a heat gun (or hair dryer for that matter) and a toothbrush will work. Dont get too close to vinyl with heat and not for very long either, once it's warm and real pliable, lightly burnish down around fastener. You're actually slightly stretching the vinyl around the object, but if not too big, once the vinyl re-cools you'll never tell it was stretched.
