About to paint my aluminum boat.

I bought some self etching primer and sanded the boat down the best I can with 200 sand paper.

Will this duplicolor engine enamel hold up good? It will be freshwater only.

A lot of guys on here are using implement paint. I used Rustoleum topside paint. Think it was only $10 for a quart. I've had better luck rolling instead of spray. Of course the durability of paint jobs hinge mainly on your prep. Gunnels get trashed regardless. This last boat I left them bare.

No lime green with top side :(

Will the dupli engine enamel work with a bunch of coats?
 
I've used it for other stuff and wasn't real impressed with it. Go to Home Depot and get you some of that Rustoleum professional like I used in my build, page 11. It's good stuff and should last like you're wanting. Comes in a bunch of colors too.
