[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 501060, member: 16767"] Yeah, when the wires liberate and bounce off my skin, only to become imbedded in my shirt, its time for a new wheel. Being career aircraft SMM, if this were an airplane I would perform the following steps below. 1. After corrosion removal, clean metal & perform a water break-free surface test. The bottom line is the aluminum must be a clean white metal surface prior to paint. 2. Apply alodine MIL-DTL-5541, this inhibits corrosion & promotes adhesion. 3. Prime with MIL-PRF-23337 epoxy polyamide primer, this primer has corrosion inhibitors. 4. Topcoat with MIL-PRF-85285 polyurethane enamel. This paint is similar to DuPont Imron All of the above products are very expensive. Are Parker products any good? I see they sell a duck boat primer & paint. Or…should I go to WM and buy rustoleum paint? What are folks using when they paint their Jon boats? [/QUOTE]
