[QUOTE="richg99, post: 171894, member: 4376"] I noted this comment recommending Valspar primer.. "The recommended primer for undercoating of the anti rust gloss enamels. Use on unpainted ferrous metal, clean off rust before applying primer. Galvanized and [b]aluminum metal surfaces should be primed with galvanized metal primer[/b]" My present boat has a pretty good painted surface right now that covers 90% of the boat. Some touch up is needed, but that is easy. However, there are two spots near the stern where the paint has been blasted off. It appears that a former owner didn't have proper fenders...or he drove over a very sandy/rocky road a lot. The paint is worn though completely back there. I'd like a recommendation of a SPECIFIC aluminum primer that would work..Reading above, they recommend using a galvanized primer...which worries me...being used on aluminum. Any help appreciated. thanks Rich p.s. FINALLY got her out for her maiden last week. Rode smooth and took the turns very well... I am a happy owner. RG [/QUOTE]
