[QUOTE="thill, post: 512279, member: 4972"] I've had boats like that before. Maybe it's not vogue, but I wire brushed it clean and used JB Weld to fill the pits. Then sanded and sprayed with zinc. Sanded again, and sprayed with topcoat paint, and it's been years and it still looks the same. Not a single bubble in the paint. (My bro in law's boat) JB Weld is an old product, but it's a really good product. The trick is getting it really clean first. Wire brush on a variable speed polisher/angle grinder followed by a power washer is what gets it done for me. What helps is to do a bad area, clean it thoroughly, blow it dry with compressed air, JB weld, sand and then prime it. Then move on to the next area. Doing it that way, you can see your progress as you go, and it's really encouraging. The more you do, the closer you get, and soon it's done. Plus, if you seal it up as soon as you get it clean, no time to oxidize, and the repair is stronger. Mind over matter! [/QUOTE]
