What is the best way to repaint an aluminum john boat?

I just came into a very nice 14 foot aluminum john boatIts in great shape but could very much use a paint jobI would like to repaint the boat and the trailer, and make it look new againI'm naming it the Screamin' SeamanI'm an artist on top of an angler, and plan on painting screaming tadpoles down the sides of it in various waysOne will have an anchor tatoo, another with a cigar, another with a hook instead of a tailetcetcCan someone help me get started with this?I'm used to painting on canvas, not aluminum.

Answer:

i just painted mine i sanded it down really good to get all the paint chips off then i used a wagner power painter and used oil based paint it wont wear off as fast but make sure you primer it first make sure to clean the power sprayer because oil based paint makes huge messes we painted ours on the floor one side at a time looks great too!!
