[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 175171, member: 4627"] If you use automotive paint you need to sand it with 220 grit, If there where any bad places that need body filler get those places as shallow of dents as you can then scuff them up with something between 24 and 80 grit paper. Don't put body filler on any thicker than a 1/4". You need to use etching primer on aluminium or the paint won't hold on. Use primer sufacer after that. wet sand that with 400 grit. Then color and clear. That is how most people around here paint their aluminium boats and most of them have had good luck out of them. Alot of it has to do with the prep work but like I said before you need to use etching primer. [/QUOTE]
