[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 361791, member: 9587"] For what it's worth, I used etching primer on my boat with little success. Zinc chromate is an etching primer but it's formulated to bond to aluminum. From my research, the steps are: 1- Scuff bare metal 2- Wash with white vinegar or some other mild acid 3- Rinse with water and let dry 4- Clean with acetone 5- Apply zinc chromate primed 6- Apply normal primer if required for top coat 7- Apply top coat There are a lot of threads over at iboats.com that talk about this that are worth checking out. A google search should point you in the right direction. There are other more involved methods but the one detailed above is the best "easy" way from what my reasearch shows. [/QUOTE]
