So I decided to start my boat resurrection project last week. This is what I started with...nothing like truck bed liner on the bottom of an aluminum boat!IMG_20130714_113758.jpg This is after about 20 hours of sanding/grinding the truck bed liner off and chemical stripping the rest.IMG_20130721_205113.jpgI used Rust-Oleum Professional Aluminum Primer and Majic tractor and truck oil based enamel. I mixed the paint with a hardener and reducer and sprayed it on with an electric Grayco sprayer. Very happy with the results!IMG_20130721_205100.jpg The following are links to products I felt were worthy of sharing
