[QUOTE="DVeasey, post: 279078, member: 5720"] Good find, and welcome! The self-etching primer seems to be what most folks here like and have had good luck with (it's what I picked up for my build). After stripping/sanding most also tend to wipe the hull down with tack cloth, and/or acetone to get a nice clean surface to prime. For painting above the waterline, most folks use the Rustoleum Topside Paint: [url]https://rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=4[/url] Below the waterline, a lot of people (myself included) use Steelflex (see the post "Everything Steelflex"). As far as the interior goes, you have a lot of options. Some don't paint it at all, some have used bedliner products or similar, some just prime and use the Topside, it's really up to your personal taste and how you'll be using the boat. Wood should be treated with something akin to Spar Urethane to make it last. Be sure to keep us up to date with plenty of pictures! - Dale [/QUOTE]
