[QUOTE="heavy-chevy, post: 42963, member: 551"] painting a john boat is pretty easy as far as painting goes. i just sanded the whole sides down, sprayed it down with carb cleaner (acetone would be best, i didn't have any at the time) and wiped it clean a few times with clean rags. taped it off (i only painted the sides) and hit it with 1 coat of duplicoler etching primer and 4 coats of rustoleum gloss black. I have used all kinds of paint on various projects and imo rustoleum is the most durable cheap paint you can get. vht is great but you can only get it in flat black or some silver colors ,and you have to cure it so its not really good for a john boat. plus its like $8 a can. duplicolor is good for cheap high temp paint for exhaust stuff/rims, and there etching primer is good but there other stuff isn't that great.
