Repainting aluminum boat
 
I am fixing to take on repainting my aluminum boat, do any of you guys have suggestions on primers or paints that hold up the best? Also do I need to sand of all of the paint that is on it now?

i would say yes you would have to remove the old paint. when i painted mine i just acid washed it then painted. make sure you use a duralux brand paint. its a marine paint and is very good

You may want to call Clint at Gaudet's.........there is some special primer they use.

Painting
 
The last time I did that I sanded it good, acid washed it and painted it with a Imron paint. They use to make an olive color Imron that made it look like new. Imron is expensive, maybe a 100 bucks a gallon or more but it's the best.
