[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 88095, member: 1460"] I'm looking for as much info on boat paint as I can get. I've come to the conclusion that the 14 footer I'm buying needs an immediate paint job, and I'm not sure where to start. I'm looking for something cheap, durable, easy, and bright red (to match my jimmy). I plan on getting some industrial stripper from HD or Murrays and getting all the old stuff off, then cleaning it with (insert proper solution here), sanding it, cleaning it again, priming it (unless someone knows of a paint that doesn't need it), and painting it. So my basic questions are: What kind of paint? Cost? What kind of primer? Cost? Do I need a clear coat? and ANY other painting tips would be great. My dad has a sprayer that works pretty darn good, so I was consiering auto paint, but I'm not sure how that would hold up constantly under water. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
