Then scuff the whole thing with a palm sander. Any bare aluminum spots should be primed lightly with a self etching primer. Don’t overdo this step because the etching primer can tunnel under good paint and give you a hard time. Just a light spray over the bare spots and a real light sand over that when it dries. Then paint. Rustoleum works well with hardener. Proform makes one called wet look that really brings up the gloss. Do this outside or with ventilation. Isocyanates are nasty dudes!  Many many threads on painting boats. I stripped and painted one last winter, had 4 coats of paint on it, 2 reds and 2 different blues. It was a nightmare!  If the paint on it seems solid, I’d just sand and paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
