I saw a CL listing of a boat that's the same model as mine. It was painted gloss black with modern decals, and it looked GOOD. Needless to say, I wanna paint mine.
The factory paint from 1984 is still decent, but chalky and dull. The boat is straight and shouldn't require much body work.
For prep, should I use a cup brush and take it down to bare aluminum, or just scuff it with a DA?
What about primer? I've read aluminum oxide, self etching, zinc phosphate, zinc chromate, what is best?
I'll be spraying, HVLP. Gloss black, or metallic black.
