[QUOTE="russ010, post: 59839, member: 677"] In my opinion, the final finish is only as good as the primer layer... zinc chromate is what I used, and it made a big difference in the final look. It also does a good job acting as a sealer depending on how many coats you put on. I put 3 thin coats of primer, then 3 thin coats of brightside interlux. End result is a VERY shiny aluminum boat. Total cost of paint was $60, but I sprayed it on with my paint gun (bought it at Home Depot for $60, but my wife make me paint all kinds of stuff - light fixtures, chairs, etc) [/QUOTE]
