[QUOTE="amateurhour, post: 305648, member: 9425"] No pics this week but I finished gutting the boat. I took out the back bench and the little front kids seat and all the previous owner's makeshift wiring. There are only four holes that were put into the boat that are non factory. They're both below the water line where he mounted the external attachment for the fish finder. It looks like he drilled two holes, then moved it to the right (it was likely too close to the prop in the previous spot) and he filled in the two original holes with some kind of adhesive. I picked up a wire brush and some rustoleum self etching primer while I was out and started working the metal. I got a few feet done, nothing major. It was more to learn what I'm doing than anything. I'm borrowing a big industrial size power sander with some wire brush discs and a small air compressor from a co-worker so next weekend I plan to blow out all the leaves and such and at least finish the inside of the boat. The guy is also loaning me a gravity paint gun for the air compressor so I was wondering two things. 1) Does the self etching primer come in anything other than the rattle cans so that I can use it with the gun? 2) If not, is there a primer that does work with a gravity feed gun that I can use in place of the rustoleum? I'm also picking up a can of the rustoleum truck bed liner and a roller brush to take care of the inside (which I'm going to do first, as it's not painted so all I need to do is clean up the metal. Do I still need to use the primer first or can I just lay down a couple coats of the truck bed liner on the inner hull bottom? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
