Well i have a 2003 crestliner and was wondering if it was worth painting.So i said to myself what else do i have to do.So this is what i'm thinking.i want to repaint the bottom.I really don't know if what i'm mostly seeing is corrosion or just peeling paint.I fig i would give it a good wet sand,not take all the paint off but whatever is loose,then clean it with alcohol or acetone.What would be the best cleaner for an aluminum jon boat after i sand it out of the 2.Should i use a paint thinner on it or would that be to potent.Iv'e redone an outboard and after 4 times i got it right,lol.It actually came out better then the original job.
After that i was going to spray it with a self etching primer,then just paint.Anything i put on the bottom will be better then whats on it now but i also don't want the paint to come off in the saltwater from a crummy job.I'm just going to spray paint it or should i use a roller and bottom paint?Never done this and i don't want to make this a long project,i'm ready to fish soon.It's going to start cooling down here soon in fl,actually by weds of this week coming and the trout will be ready for a jumbo shrimp along with the reds and snook,lol.
I'm not worried about the inside,just the outside.Well if there is any easy fixer up i can do please let me know,thanks.
