[QUOTE="270Handiman, post: 134454, member: 2455"] The next step was to prime the entire surface with self-etching primer. The hull had so many nicks and dings in it, that it was impossible to just prime the bare spots. So I did the entire hull. I used the Duplicolor self-etching primer because I like the way it looked when dry. It seemed to have a smoother finished surface and wasn’t as chalky as the Rustoleum product. It also seemed to lay down flatter when I was spraying it. As a side note, it matched the existing hull color almost exactly, and if I was going to leave the boat green, I would not have need to top coat it. These pictures were of just the exterior, the interior was done later.
