[QUOTE="dkuster, post: 219963, member: 6507"] The factory paint on the sides of my 14' deep-V is still adhering well and is generally in good shape except for numerous scratches and a few 1/2" x 1/2" patches on the bow keel where it's been rubbed off. I want to spruce things up and change the color. I've already purchased some Pre-Kote primer and Brightsides paint. According the the Interlux website, I should sand and prime with Pre-Kote. But what about the scratches and chips where bare aluminum is exposed? I was thinking of sanding the scratches / bare spots, hitting those areas with a rattle can of zinc chromate, sanding the entire boat, and priming with Pre-Kote. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks!
