[QUOTE="Pmoconnor89, post: 365883, member: 15156"] Finally found something in my price range and picked up a 1980 14 foot Lowe flat bottom. Anyways, the boat is currently painted white on the bottom and I'm looking to freshen up the color a bit. I haven't got the time, patience, or $$$ to work it out as professionally as most of the modifications I see here. I was wondering if anybody had any tips for painting over existing paint, I don't need it to look perfect but don't want it to flake off immediately either. There are a few spots that the paint has chipped to bare aluminum. We are talking half dollar sized spots at most. I was planning on pressure washing the boat first to clean it up and then sanding it a bit to rough up the existing paint, then just spraying over it. Anything different I should to to prep the few bare spots? Anybody have any experience painting over existing paint jobs, and have any suggestions for a certain type of paint? Remember I am ballin on a budget and my biggest concerns for the boat are catching fish and not sinking, the rest are just details! [/QUOTE]
