[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 118011, member: 2148"] Following you lead buddy. Hunter green Rustoleum(because the new seats that came with the boat are green). I plan to try rolling it on this time with a foam roller. If I remember correctly that's what you did...right? Do you think the thinning was necessary? Also did you put it right over the Etching Primer? I thought about putting the Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer over the etching primer, but it went on my trailer horribly. Now since the etching primer is green I'm thinking the smart thing to do is put the pain right over the etching primer so if it scratches it will be green underneath instead of gray. The other thought is to go with their regular primer instead of the clean metal stuff. The other thing I'm questioning in my mind is what to paint on the inside. The interior has all been sanded clean, but not all the aluminum compartments, that I've pulled out. Do I: 1. Leave the inside of the compartments alone with the brushed aluminum look from sanding? This might be brighter in the closed compartments. 2. Paint everthing hunter green? 3. Paint everthing gray? This might now show the scratches as bad as the green. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
