[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 248614, member: 7537"] I used four cans of bed liner, 3 cans of primer. I did not use the bed liner for leak prevention, more for added corrosion resistance. My primary use will be saltwater, the old paint held up pretty good for an 84 hull. I did have some pitting on some of the ribs so that is why I used bed liner. The sides on the inside will probably be white if I even paint them. The self-etching primer went on right over the old paint and it looks pretty good for one coat. I stripped the outside hull but I'm not sure I am going to use self etching on the outside. I am currently looking at Awl-crarft paint with an epoxy primer. I have a nice spray gun and I will probably spay with my compressor. It all comes down to money....the paint is kinda expensive. You know I still have one of my seats that I plan on using as a test dummy, If I self-etch and use a rattle can paint and it does not come off easy I might just go this route....its a hell of alot easier.
