[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 423899, member: 13599"] Hawk - that is the dilemma that plagues us all. WHERE do we draw the line and say eNuff-is-eNuff !!! stick a fork in it, turn it over, it's DONE !! It has been discussed here dozens of times of where to stop. yes, it is okay to stop at the primer - IF - it is sound, not flaking, and holding tight with no visible signs of corossion. Even the remnants of any paint can be sanded to smooth the edges and primed over if it is sound and not flaking. Wire brush the seams and clean it up. spot prime the BARE metal with self etching primer. prime and paint your boat by whatever means is comfortable within your skill set. keep in mind - it is not your grandmother's kitchen table: it is a boat !!! it will last another 50 years just the way you have it now. It will be your family treasure when you get it all done. Do not apply self etching primer to any painted surface..... it could turn out bad. GOOD JOB so far !!! thanks for sharing your journey. [b]Read, Understand and Follow the instructions on the label of all products you use. Pay particular attention to the safety notes and heed the warnings accordingly.[/b] . [/QUOTE]
