Wow! It's been a while since I posted anything.
As of now, I've almost completely stripped the boat of paint. It's currently sitting upside down on the trailer. The leaning post is mounted with 1/4 x 20 aluminum rivnuts.
I'm getting closer to painting, and should be finished with paint in a few weeks. It seems the trend on here is using self etching rattle can primer, and duck boat paint. I've chosen to go with Pettit 6455/044 epoxy primer,
and Pettit 4700/4701 primer.
6455 is a self etching two part paint, and is applied as a semi transparent coat, then the 4700 is applied over it. I'm going for a gray look, so I probably won't put a top coat over the primer. On the decks, and floor I'll be going with Durabak in light gray. With any luck it will look like this. It's a thick, nonskid finish similar to truck bed liner. I'll be spraying everything with this bad boy. It's capable of spraying thick undercoating, and bed liner, as well as thinner paints!
