[QUOTE="ober51, post: 87776, member: 1354"] Went to Boater's World and planned and bought a bit more. As you know, Steel Flex will cover the bottom. The inside will now be coated by Gluvit - as it was 40% off, bringing it down to $79 for a gallon! I also settled on some paint, choosing Interlux Brightside Sapphire Blue (which will be two toned with the Steel Flex). I was on the fence with this or Bright Red, and then saw evattman's "Lund" and was convinced Sapphire was the right choice. Whether it looks as good is another story. As for painting - this time I have decided that I don't need to take the hull all the way down to aluminum for the topside paint (porobably will do that for the Steel Flex though). Given this, I have decided to only use the self-etch primer on the bare spots of aluminum and then use Interlux PreKote to prime over the sanded paint, does this sound right? I think it will even give it a great shine if I do light paint, light sanding with 320 grit, and many coats. To recap: self etch primer for bare spots, then PreKote, then Brightside...sound right?
