[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 120106, member: 863"] Thanks again y'all. MeanMouth, the boat paint is Krylon Color Creations, you can get it at Walmart for about $7/quart. Even though I used it all over the outside, I would recommend something more resilliant as bottom paint. You can find opinions that latex enamel isn't good for tin boat paint at all, but it seems fine to me so far, especially using self-etching primer under it. The color according to Krylon is Khaki. You can get it in both a quart container, and a spray can, which I used a little bit of for hard to reach places. I used regular old gloss black Rustoleum rattle cans for the trailer, and it turned out well I think. When I do another boat, I really hope to have some spray equipment, you sure do go through a lot of paint using rattle cans, it gets danged expensive. [/QUOTE]
