[QUOTE="TexasLoneStar56, post: 398990, member: 14624"] Ole Johnny is telling you right about the primer, painting and clear coat. He knows! He was a professional for years, and years, and years. We all know that old LS is aluminum, but you still have to prep it with etching and put a sealer top coat on it. Otherwise, it will do just like he said; look just like sheet metal on an old car that had only been primed. And it won't take long to do it, depending on the elements. You can rattle can it with clear. That's what I did behind the transom wood. There is a link on here that would probably behoove you to read. It is very informative on paint products, what they do, and how to use them, correctly, and why. I will send it to you. It sure helped me! You've got a good thing going! Keep up the good work! =D> =D> =D> I know it is a slow process, believe me, I know, but just hang in there. :wink: [/QUOTE]
