[QUOTE="uttexas, post: 465365, member: 20262"] Yes, there are other, more expensive ways to do it (alumaprep etcher, then alodine, then epoxy primer, etc) But with a non showroom boat, I'd just go with Rustoleurm self etching primer (light coat), then Rustoleum clean metal primer (light coat), then Rustoleum oil based enamel color(s) of your choice. I would do at least three coats of the Rustoleum oil based enamel. With the Rustoleum oil based enamal, I thinned 14oz of paint with 1oz mineral spirits; and added 0.5oz of hardener per 14oz of paint Good technique here (wouldn't do the clear coat last step) [media]https://youtu.be/_qPJTTRWttQ[/media] [/QUOTE]
