[QUOTE="ASUAviator, post: 117076, member: 2065"] Brine, so i threw a primer coat on the bare aluminum and which you can see from the photos. i got it from home depot and it said it was an aluminum primer. dont remember the name. then i started applying the none skip paint. after the first coat you could still see throught. it took 3 coats ( pain in the *** ) before it looked good and clean. after the 3 coats, i still have a pint or so left over for touch ups. what i like about it is that after it dries, it still feels rubbery. so i dont think flaking will be a problem unless the primer is no good. while working on the deck, i did drop a drill on it which took a dime sized chip out of it. but it was simple to touch up. so in conclusion, the non skip paint leaves behind a good gritty/rubbery finish. Cprince, thank you. desert lakes are definately unique in their scenery. as for the picture... we are still working on the electical system. what you see there is a wire from the battery in the front of the boat, to the electric starter on the motor. that is just a tacky/temporary connector between the 2. i am going to fix that up while i am on winter break.
