[QUOTE="Kiletravis09, post: 243444, member: 7797"] Ok I have an aluminum boat that had never been painted and has just sat outside for YEARS before I bought it. Today I bought vinegar and SOS pads to take off the little bit of pitting and grime and to try and prep the surface for the etching primer. Well it's working but in some areas there is still not really "shinny" areas. Should I just take an orbital sander to the entire boat or should I just continue using the vinegar and SOS pads? Also was lead ever used in these boats? Mine was made in 1967. [/QUOTE]
