[QUOTE="crannman, post: 478628, member: 28673"] I really like the SeaHawk paint, especially that it’s both a primer and paint. I could not find the MEK that is recommended as a reducer so I used an MEK substitute that I saw at Lowe’s and at a Sherman Williams paint store. I cut it about 20% because it is really thick stuff. I prepared the aluminum per the instructions. Used distilled white vinegar to etch the aluminum and cleaned with water until paper towels wiped fairly clean. I have never used an air sprayer before and it was a real learning experience! My problem was managing the overspray! The first coat came out okay and not too bad on the second. I’m not happy with the way the bench seats came out so I may try painting them with a roller! It seems like a very durable paint and there’s a few videos on UTube to check out as well. As far as the FASCO super slick 2000, it sure seems like a great product! I’ve gone over the bottom and sides and used the JB Weld waterproof stuff to fix Some obvious leaks. I have all the paint removed and looking to prep the surface and apply that next! I’ll post some pictures when the bottom is done! [/QUOTE]
