[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 373713, member: 13599"] It looks like the existing paint is sound so the preparation would be as simple as washing with some TSP cleaner then paint. If the paint is chipping or you have corrosion issues somewhere, you need to address that prior to painting. The existing factory paint will serve as a primer. I had to strip my wife's 1958 Sears 1236 down to bare metal all over and primed with [b]RUST-OLEUM 8781502 Gray Aluminum Primer[/b] I had to order it from Amazon.com as none of my local stores carry it. I suggest a good quality latex paint as it will expand and contract with the metal more easily than a hard enamel will. GOOD LUCK !!! [ATTACH type="full" alt="paint.jpg"]70592._xfImport[/ATTACH] While searching Amazon.com again for some goodies, I found this . . . . I did not know Rust-Oleum made "marine finish" paints. Might be worth a look at Amazon if you are interested. Seems like it is not available in my local stores. [ATTACH type="full" alt="818tGk7jyGL._SL1500_.jpg"]70628._xfImport[/ATTACH] There is nothing more grand than to be just simply messing around in an old boat . . . . POGO, 1960 [/QUOTE]
