[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 478028, member: 7076"] Did some more polishing and priming this weekend. I started by using some Brasso polish on a soft scouring style pad. That seemed to do a good job of taking the tarnish off the bare aluminum. [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20200925_172719733.jpg"]107356._xfImport[/ATTACH] The results were fairly good. I'm sure I could have gone further with some additional elbow grease, but it is a 30 year old boat :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20200925_171356992.jpg"]107360._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20200925_202549376.jpg"]107355._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20200925_202559443.jpg"]107357._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20200925_202552305.jpg"]107358._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then I redid the taping and started priming the top band this weekend. I've got to fill in a few deeper scrapes. Final paint will be coming soon.
