[QUOTE="Rat, post: 140225, member: 1914"] I would hate to say it's easy, because it isn't. But it isn't hard either. The self etching primer is definitely the secret. Follow the application directions from the manufacturer and you will not go wrong. Sanding and cleaning it the hardest part, actually priming and painting is pretty easy. Depending on the finish you are looking for makes more or less difficult as well. A work boat or hunting boat finish using something like Parkers is going to be easier then a yacht like finish using something like Sterling. Even though both paints can go on the same way; Parker tends to hide the little bumps and wiggles and Sterling tends to show them off. Just like anything else it takes careful consideration, proper preparation and proper application. But its really not that hard. [/QUOTE]
