[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 469210, member: 24227"] Finally, spring came and I could paint the hull. [img]https://greaseextensionhoses.com/boat_photos/PolarKraft1751-5[/img] [img]https://greaseextensionhoses.com/boat_photos/PolarKraft1751-6[/img] [img]https://greaseextensionhoses.com/boat_photos/PolarKraft1751-7[/img] Since it already had a coat of factory paint, I used that as my primer. It was ugly but solid. I sanded every inch of the boat with 80 grit sanding pads. The sticky vinyl got acetone to remove the stickers and a flap wheel on a grinder to remove the residue. For paint, I bought 2 gallons of flat camo paint from Kush Paints. As far as I can tell, their paint is almost the same as the oil based "epoxy" paint that Rustoleum sells. I wanted a custom color and that's not available from Rustoleum so I ordered a custom color from Kush. I picked out my paint color at my local hardware store, gave the color number and name to Kush and they shipped the paint to me. 2 gallons was exactly enough. I was getting nervous near the end. I have about 1/4 inch left in the can for touchups. [/QUOTE]
