[QUOTE="ChitownBasser, post: 247370, member: 7721"] Okay. Sorry to go back to the paint thing but I have a couple of more questions. Any advice or tips would be appreciated. The inside of my boat seems to be in its original aluminum state, do I have to sand it before priming? I have 200 grit just in case. [img]https://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv122/puente03_photos/2012-03-07_00-44-29_HDR.jpg[/img] The outside. It appears that there used to be some kind of blue paint or primer under the red paint. I am using a stripping wire wheel drill bit. This red paint is not coming off easy. With some muscle I could eventually finish it. Just looking for an easier way. Do I have to strip the red off before priming? Can I just sand the outside, wiped with acetone, and prime? The bottom is unpainted btw. [img]https://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv122/puente03_photos/2012-03-07_00-43-32_HDR.jpg[/img] I am almost done but this paint thing seems tricky. [/QUOTE]
