[QUOTE="TinBoatToo, post: 177779, member: 3610"] Well I finally got her stripped down #-o , gutted and primed. If i ever strip another boat it will be too soon, started with the liquid ended with the good ole wire wheel. I had planned on leaving her bare aluminum but it was too bright and shiny for sunny Florida. Yes I know it would have oxidized and darkened a bit but I didn't like looking at her sitting in yard. So I found what I thought was a light gray self ecting primer but after spaying the hull turns out it was a olive drab almost the classic color of jon boats. I ended up liking the color so I think im going to leave it that way, and it will be easy to touch up it she gets scratched. I'm still building up the sheeting on the transom so I haven't painted it yet. But soon I'll be able to flip her over and begin the topside. Here are a few pics of the paint job. [/QUOTE]
