[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 503812, member: 32586"] A little heat and those decals should come right off. I use a heat gun, but a hair dryer will also work. Last tinny I painted I just scraped the loose paint off, wiped it down with thinner and painted it with a brush. You'd have to get your nose up close to tell, but I've spent many hours swinging a paint brush and am pretty good at it. For a better finish without a lot of messing around, you can use a closed cell roller, the little ones that look like hotdogs. Foam brushes are the ticket for spots you can't get the roller into. I'm a fan of Rustoleum. Never had it fail me yet and if a little comes off, so what? All boats will likely need a little touching up now and then. Just my take on it. I painted the entire boat in two afternoons, two colors. [/QUOTE]
