[QUOTE="Shoedawg, post: 386080, member: 13490"] I read Woodonglass's post yesterday on iboats. It was informative, and deals with tractor paint. He also linked a "Steps to Prep Aluminum" which can been read here: [url=https://forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-repair-and-restoration/boat-restoration-building-and-hull-repair/468504-steps-to-prep-aluminuim-with-pics]Alum Prep[/url] Woodonglass's approach is as follows: 1. Strip Boat and Clean 2. Acid-Wash Boat 3. Self-Etch Primer 4. Rust Preventor (i.e Rustoleum Bare Metal Primer) 5. Sand with 220-320 grit 6. Wipe with 50/50 Mix Acetone/Mineral Spirits 7. Spray/Roll/Brush your paint of choice He also discusses the use of adding a paint hardener. I am guessing it helps the paint cure faster, and gives it some protection, but does it make the paint glossy/shine more?? [/QUOTE]
