Thank you for sharing! Your article has my utmost respect. =D>

I had never thought about what could happen by using two different brands of products. Your explanation of each and every product is most certainly appreciated.

Thank you again, Sir!
 
I have been reading this site for a couple of months now and specifically read this article several times hoping that I had missed something and that some product would jump off the page and help me out with my specific situation. I have a Lowe 14/36 that was given to me several years ago. The boat itself has no damage and almost all the paint is in good enough shape to save. I said almost all the paint. A tree had rubbed off about a 12" circle of paint on the outside, over the rail, and inside of the the hull. My question is, is there a product out there that I can prime this bare metal spot with that will not pull up the existing paint around it and still be able to have a fairly smooth finish. The latex primer in the article would work, however it said you could not sand it. With the latex primer, in y'all's opinion would I end up with something that looks good enough for a semi-gloss finish? And is semi-gloss the right sheen for a project like mine? In the end it is a fishing boat and I want it to look good.

give you more accurate information.

If your metal is already smooth and all you want to do is paint your bald spot,
in MY world, I would just use a good automotive gray primer that is sandable.
then apply your top coat. Feather it out to match..
then, go fishing.
