I have completely disassembled my aluminum bass boat and it is being sandblasted.I am restoring the boat and will be giving it a new paint job.What do you recommend in the way of primer,paint or anything else I need to know.I just don,t want to mess it up by using the wrong thing.Best answer gets a fishing trip in the same boat we are talking about. If you can make it here I will put you on some fish.Catfish,bream,crappie,bass or even saltwater fish.
Contact the manufacture and see what they used as it held up for quite a few yrs. Primer for aluminum is the beginning.
Altough Pettit says you can topcoat this primer, you will probably get a better result if you prime the primer with whatever is recommended for the type of topcoat you use. For the hull, use a paint with a high UV rating, and avoid using red, it oxidizes faster. I would also suggest you use the Alumaprotect inside the hull as well.
