[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 510953, member: 16767"] It was supposed to be warm today, perfect boat painting weather I thought, because earlier in the week, it was forecast to be 70 this weekend. I think it hit about 60 today, at the most, with a wet dreary overcast sky. I final sanded the hull with 120 grit on my electric orbital sander and wiped it down with acetone. I rolled on a couple coats of Khaki colored paint. I used about a third of the gallon I bought. It’s Total Boat Aluminum Boat paint, water based one-part polyurethane formula that doesn’t require primer. I have my kerosene torpedo heater blowing hot air up under the bow. The hot air should be captured under the open shell of a Boat, heating the aluminum quickly. Hopefully the added heat will help kick it off, because it was not drying with the cool low 50’s degree air outside. I went with the light color to help with the hot metal when I use the boat in the summer time. I can always put some darker colors on it if I decide to apply a camouflage scheme. [/QUOTE]
