[QUOTE="russ010, post: 44061, member: 677"] OK so here's where we are today... I went to walmart and got a paint remover disc that fits into the end of my power drill (instead of buying an angle grinder) - worked nicely for only $5. I really worked on a few areas where there was a lot of dings to get the burrs off so I wouldn't nick myself while walking around the boat. [img]https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/russ010/Jon%20Boat%20Conversion/0818081236.jpg[/img] Then I used this zinc chromate primer. I got an eye shock when I opened it up and it was colored school bus yellow. I started putting this stuff on with my paint brush... but it was not working well at all. I never even though about why this stuff was drying so fast - it's 12pm and the boat is sitting in full sun! Doh! ](*,) Well I went ahead and put it on pretty thick, I'll probably wait until this afternoon when it cools off a little bit after being in the shade and put another coat on it. [img]https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/russ010/Jon%20Boat%20Conversion/0818081337.jpg[/img] I'll take better pics in a little while and post them tonight, my camera battery died and I took these with my cell phone.
