[QUOTE="admirial_deluxe, post: 522378, member: 36996"] I just purchased a 56 Lone Star Admiral Deluxe. It's got a good thick, heavy paint job on it, but there are some bare spots on the hull where the paint has flaked off. The two attached pictures are a side picture of the paint job in general, and a poor quality shot of the underside where it's coming off. From what I've read here, paint on an aluminum boat is only aesthetic and is not doing anything to protect boat. The boat will live in fresh water during the summer. My main concern is the paint flaking off and getting in the lake. Definitely don't want that to happen. It seems there's two options: remove the paint to the waterline or somehow encapsulate the flaking painter. Removing the paint is pretty straightforward. What substance do people recommend to do that with? If I go to the encapsulate option, does it makes sense to simply repaint it, or put some sort of epoxy, etc., over it? i'm new to this so thank you for any advice you have. [/QUOTE]
