[QUOTE="rich250, post: 419544, member: 18205"] Depending on what paint your going to use will depend on how you prep it. When I repainted my prior boat I used automotive base coat clear coat(I work in a body shop)I only done the sides but did strip them to bare aluminum then washed it down with vinegar then self etched it, scuffed that with a scotch brite pad then applied sealer and then paint then clear coat.I f your gonna strip it 100 grit is fine if not I would not go below 220 grit.If you strip it you need to etch prime it if not then you don't really have to prime it.
