[QUOTE="WaltonsMountain, post: 104532, member: 1946"] Okay I've done alot of reading on how to prep/repaint an aluminum boat but there seems to be alot of different answers. Here's my situation. I plan on using steelflex on the bottom exterior hull and up to the waterline. I want to repaint above the water line exterior and possibly the inside (although I may just go w/ Durabak for the inside). There is already an old paint job on this boat that is fading. Should I sand and strip to get down to bare aluminum and then apply a self etching primer or should I sand and then just paint over it. I'm confused. Do you need primer if you are painting over an old paint job? [/QUOTE]
