[QUOTE="FloridaRebel01, post: 270543, member: 9211"] Decided to paint my boat, its gonna see a good bit of saltwater so i think its for the best. I already have a clean surface (bare aluminum with a good scrub and wash). I have some zinc chromate primer, i am very limited on the funds and cant afford any of the "aluminum prep" solvents, instead i was just going to do vinegar. Question is, do i apply the 50/50 vinegar/water mix and let it dry or do i apply it and wash it off before applying the zinc chromate? Also, i plan on doing a simple flat brown/tan camo job for paint, will the "Rustoleum professional high performance enamel" in the rattle can stick well to the zinc chromate? Any info would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
