So I'm new to the forum. Hi guy's nice to meet you all. Beautiful boats I love em all. I just recently came across a butt ugly delhi flatbottom 1236. I plan on making a low deck in the front section. Just high enough to make a level surface. Then I plan on taking the top of the front bench out and make storage space. But the first thing I must do is get the nasty multiple layers of paint off. Which leads to my first question, I want the boat to have the original metal color but need to no if it needs any kind of coating on top of the aluminum? I love the look of aluminum! I melt aluminum for a living and have feel in love with the look of fresh aluminum!! Anyway enough rambling. I plan on putting a stripe down the side and need to know if it's safe to clear coat the paint. I know how to paint cars but I do not know how the clear coat will handle be in water. Thanks guys for any info.
