[QUOTE="sworrior, post: 361447, member: 14410"] Looking at the MSDS for TimTactical's Paint (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Painter-s-Touch-2X-12-oz-Satin-Moss-Green-General-Purpose-Spray-Paint-6-Pack-249071/202058662), it looks like it's an acryllic-based paint/primer in one. While acryllic isn't as durable as enamel, for the price you can't beat it. Duralux and Parker Duck Boat Paint were appealing, but after emailing both manufacturers, I don't think they're epoxy compatible but neither rep would say for certain. Gluvit's customer service rep said any epoxy or paint labeled as a "bottom" paint should work. Going to see if I can scrounge something up. West Marine by me has anti-fouling paint, but that is a no-no for aluminum boats. Moeller Self Etching Primer with Zinc Chromate looks like a winner to me. Made a call and Lowes by my house has a few colors in stock. It also, according to the TDS, appears to be epoxy compatible. Thanks! Of course, I could always paint the boat with this (https://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3115098) I keep forgetting it's a "Free" aluminum boat and not the QE II. Need to quit the fussin' and get to fishin'. [/QUOTE]
