[QUOTE="panFried, post: 344453, member: 9467"] I had great success with power sanding the entire boat with 220 grit scuffing original paint and taking down to bare metal in trouble spots. I then washed with mild soap and water followed by a good rinse. After it dried, I washed/wiped down the surface with Acetone prior to coating with self etching primer on bare spots and rustoleum professional aluminum primer on rest. Once prepped, I used Parker's Duck Boat paint through a HVLP paint gun from Habor Freight based on forum recommendations. Make sure to follow any paint manufacture's instructions as Parker's suggested curing period between coats. I am very pleased with the results and performance. Hope that helps a little. [/QUOTE]
