[QUOTE="TexasLoneStar56, post: 396685, member: 14624"] :WELCOME: aboard! Yes, the easiest way to check for leaks is to fill it with the water hose; draw a circle around any leaks with a marker. I am not a painter, so can't help you there, but, there are some professionals on here. Also, there are some professional fiberglass guys on here. They can give you some good, sound advice, and tell you what and how to do it. However, you have to remember this is tin boats, not fiberglass, so not sure how much help you will receive on here. Perhaps Mr. Johnny will be along to help you with your paint questions. I wish you the very best of luck with your build! You might find this link very helpful (I sure did!)
