the first thing i would do would be try posting this in the general discussion section (the correct section) instead of posting it in the classifieds

Etching primer works real well for a base coat and like the guy said parker paint is some good stuff

no problem man...hope i didnt come across as a jerk either. i clicked the thread initially cause i had been looking for tips to paint mine as well...except mine is fiberglass, but i figure the process is similar

Get the old paint off and down to bare aluminum (preferably with a sand blaster) then spray a coat of self etching primer. Once it dries, put 2 coats of Parker Duck Boat paint on it and your good to go for far longer than spray paint lasts.

pm deltacottonboy. he just did a hella job on his, it looks real good. he might can give u some pointers

No need to take it down to bare aluminum. Get a big brush on a gringer and buff away anything loose. The whole boat needs to be done this way if possible. Make sure on an aluminum you use a ZINC OXIDE primer. As far as the top paint just a good enamel. The parker paint is good. The key is getting a good seal and using the right primer!
