[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 105982, member: 1931"] First off WELCOME :) ! As for your boat I'd recommend using a paint stripper. You could sand/wire brush off, but it will scratch the aluminum. After that , your pretty much done. The aluminum will not need any kind of clear coat on it. The clear coat will not stick to the bare aluminum with out some sort of a primer, and that would not leave the bear metal look. If your planning on using it in the salt (which I believe you said in you other thread) then I would not leave it bare. I would consider coating it with something. Most guys around here prefer the Steelflex coating on the bottom. It seals the bottom and rivits and gives it protection too. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
