[QUOTE="BassMaster52, post: 251489, member: 7579"] Thanks guys. The idea to paint started because I was adding quite a bit of fresh aluminum to the inside of the boat and was going to have to paint it. Then I realized that the paint was really oxidized and wouldn't match my new paint at all. The inside had a good bit of ware on it so I decided that I would take it down to bare metal and start fresh. As for the outside, the paint is in great condition and I will be just roughing it up a bit and spraying a top coat over it. Also, I am looking to put down some type of foam sheets under my floor in between the ribs. I've been doing some research and from my understanding it needs to be closed cell foam? I guess this keeps the foam from absorbing water. Makes sense.... My question is, does anyone know where to get cheap sheets of flotation foam about 1 1/2" to 2" thick? I saw another thread where someone put the blue building material foam down...is that closed cell? [/QUOTE]
