[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427162, member: 13599"] Welcome Aboard well, resurrecting a 8-1/2 year old thread shows that you have done some research already. what would help you the most at the moment would be some photos of your boat and what kind of primer did you buy already. all of your concerns were addressed in this thread. just read all the tips carefully and extract what is relevant to your project. if the hull has like a powdery or rough finish from oxidation, all that must be mechanically removed with scrubbing, sanding, etc prior to etching, priming and painting. Just plain etching formula like OSPHO is fine self etching primer is fine Rust-Oleum latex based aluminum primer is fine Rust-Oleum oil based enamel top coats are fine roll and tip will give you the smoothest finish. (roll the paint on, smooth out with a brush). there is no need to purchase a "marine" product unless you intend to leave your boat in the water for extended periods of time. [/QUOTE]
