I just .... well two weeks ago that is picked up a project boat and I am giving it an total makeover from top to bottom inside and out.
So far it has been a blast doing However I have got into an area I do not know a lot about and that is Marine Paint, The boat is aluminum hull and the current paint is for the most good with some bare spots that are from trailer rubbing, I plan to keep the same color for the hull (Ivory white) however I want to bring it back to life ... oh the boat is an 1979 year.
To paint the boat I plan to turn it upside down to make the job a little better to do and I have removed the entire interior since I am redoing it and bringing it up to date.
Oh the question before I forget is should I strip the old paint off? (it is not flaking) or should I just scuff it up and prime it then paint away?
