[QUOTE="thill, post: 522318, member: 4972"] My last boat, I did not paint, and it was awesome, but had that dull, industrial look. Some people love that, so I had no problems selling it. My current boat was painted, so I kept it going, and it turned out well. I used Rustoleum aluminum primer on bare areas and then shot Rustoleum industrial paint with a shot of Japan Drier (a curing/hardening agent) and thinned it with a bit of Acetone. (To further help the curing process) It was dry to the touch in HOURS, not days, and cured over the next week. I am VERY happy with how the paint turned out. Rustoleum industrial is very hard, strong and glossy stuff, as Ray Clark mentioned above. And it was cheap. I spent less than $100 for everything, and I easily have enough to paint my boat all over again if I ever needed to. But it doesn't look like I will... It's tough stuff. And super easy to touch up, if needed. [/QUOTE]
