We got an old aluminum boat and we want to give it a new coat of camo. Any tips?

Scratch off the old paint. Wipe it down with vinigar, let it dry, and hit it with some of that aluminum duck boat paint that Cabela's sells. Then stencil it out. Worked for me, anyway.

Don't have too much fun scraping and sanding that old paint off of there. As GC mentioned make sure to use vinegar, it really help to clean and the new paint to take hold. I have used a wagner sprayer but I now use a paint gun with air compressor made for painting cars. Good luck and make sure you paint if before it turns cold.
