So i have a aluminum 16' boat with 70 hp from the 70's i believe and it is in need of a new paint job. The boat will not be slipped or anything, just trailered and left in the water for at most a week mabey two, but majority of the time just in for a weekend at the cabin. The old paint is not in too bad shape, and i heard i can just sand it a little, and not have to use primer. Could i do that? What paint you suggest? How much paint do you think i need? I want the hull a white or so and a blue stripe and the interior needs some blue too. If i get white, will it fade? Can i paint it on the boat? Sorry for all the stupid questions but I dont know much at all about painting boats. Any help would be greatly appericated. Also it will be used in fresh water of that makes a difference.
