[QUOTE="Busbey, post: 221168, member: 6182"] question... in the pic below, you can see how i have a LOT of work left to do to get the paint off down to bare metal. what would happen if i said screw it, left that paint on there and painted over everything? i would still need to scuff up the paint with 80grit correct? this would save me SO MUCH time. problem is, i have a 1 year old little girl and i have 0 time to work on the boat. i have a garage to start the deck, maybe an hour each night here and there. but when it comes to pulling the boat out in the driveway, using the angle grinder to get all this paint off and making a mess.... while this whole time, trying to watch her... you can see i am limited. i can only work on this project freely on Sunday mornings. and i want to get started on everything. but the sanding is killing me right now cause i have no time. so, other than me screwing up the paint job or something, what happens if i paint it like it sits now? would it look horrible? would you see lines where the aluminum meet the 30 year old paint? please be honest guys. i am thinking a blue and grey two-tone paint job on this with the inside being a textured white of sort from the seats up (only where deck will not cover.
