[QUOTE="HickInTheSticks, post: 384206, member: 18253"] So my in-laws are in town and not really getting to do as much as I'd like, but I got *most* of the exterior paint stripped. About to start doing hull repair - just using some JB water weld to fill all the old screw holes. Will remove the rest of the paint when I give it a final sanding after filling the holes. Got a gallon of Rustoleum Aluminum/Galvanized primer to start. Sticking with a roll-on method, feel like that'll get it finished the quickest. Gonna hit the whole boat with it, interior and exterior. Previous owner had some flaky paint due to not applying any primer, so I wanna make sure I get ALL of the exterior paint off before priming. For paint I'm gonna keep the boat green, don't really have too many color options with Rustoleum. Green, white lettering/trim. Not sure if it'll work, but I'm gonna paint the bottom of the boat white. Not sure how it'll hold up in the water, so unless someone advises against it before I start painting, I'm painting it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/erPm47p.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7HKCNeF.jpg[/img] Also cleaned the garage out so I can get 'er in there and do some after-dark work. [/QUOTE]
