1983 Starcraft semi V-16 Project

[bterry]

So I decided to start my boat resurrection project last week. This is what I started with...nothing like truck bed liner on the bottom of an aluminum boat! This is after about 20 hours of sanding/grinding the truck bed liner off and chemical stripping the rest.I used Rust-Oleum Professional Aluminum Primer and Majic tractor and truck oil based enamel. I mixed the paint with a hardener and reducer and sprayed it on with an electric Grayco sprayer. Very happy with the results! The following are links to products I felt were worthy of sharing
