[QUOTE="Mikey602, post: 413569, member: 20789"] Again a ton of research on here and other sites before I began the painting process. Painted it this past Monday. So here it goes.... Scuffed up new aluminum using a stainless brush and/or red scrotch brites. Old aluminum inc. tool box took a lot more elbow grease so I used a stainless wire wheel on a grinder. Followed up with the air compressor and vacuumed what seemed like days. Any how Monday was by far the nicest day we've had in weeks. So I pulled the boat out, rubbed her down with acetone while dad starting mixing primer. Here's a few pics of primer.

[ATTACH type="full" alt="image.jpg"]85138._xfImport[/ATTACH] 2 coats of paint followed by numerous coats of clear. High traffic areas like floor, tool box and bow received at least 4-6 coats of clear.
