I got an early 80's Sea Nymph 14R from my mom's boyfriend for $400. Came with a 25HP Johnson, but needs a lot of work. Just to get it home I had to throw $70 in bearings and races at the trailer, plus a lighting kit.
Anyways, So on the outside I wire wheeled, primed with Rustoleum Aluminum primer
Then I painted with some Valspar Oil Based enamel.
I realize its going to get dinged up a bit, but its a lot better than the nasty camo paint job it had from its previous life as a duck boat.
It has wood panels cut with a 2x6 down the center, for wood floors
I bought some grey outdoor carpet today to carpet them with.
Heres my question - For the interior, would white paint be ok for any exposed metal? I have some white elastomer roof paint left from another project. Kool Seal. I figured its meant to go on aluminum, and it will help reflect heat so if my wife or daughters are wearing a bathing suit and sits down on one of the metal humps, she won't burn her thighs. However, someone on another forum told me white would reflect a lot of the sun and could give you more of a sun burn. Any truth to this?
