[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 115628, member: 2148"] Scrape/Sand/Brush off any loose paint. Rough up the boat surface a little. Then clean it really good with a tack rag and wipe it down with Acetone. Then go over it with an Etching(or called Zinc Chromate) Primer. This type of primer will grab the aluminum to allow the paint to adhere better. Typically is comes in a rattle can, for about $6. I found it at the local Auto Parts store, but in some parts Wal-Mart carries it. Then you can paint it. I chose to put a regular primer coat over the Etching primer but from what I've ready it's not a necessary step. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
