Don't paint an aluminum boat. It's too much work.

prep the aluminum with a metal prep you can get this at an automotive paint supply shop. This will cause a blueing affect,or rainbow affect.


After the metal prep you will need to prime with wash primer. wash primer is a zinc chromate primer that is mixed with phosphoric acid usally 50/50 mixture.


When spraying he wash primer spray a light enough coat so that you can see thru it . (transparent) usually if sprayed too thick the wash primer will fail to adhere properly.


Topcoat the wash primmer with a 2-part epoxy primer or primer sealer. primer will need a scuffing before final top coating. use 180 grit D/a sand paper on D/a (dual action)sander. in hard to get places use red scotch brite scuff pad.


Primmer/ sealer can be painted usally after a flash time of at least 20 minutes and usally no more than a couple of hours. I'd sugguest using a true polyurethane enamel. imron or equililant. this is a single stang paint, meaning it shines without needing a clearcoat.


A polyurethane enamel shines without needing polishing and withstands to the harsh elements.

It should be pretty cheap considering it is a small boat. I have a 14 ft. aluminum boat myself, but i don't want to paint it. It's too much up keep.


go to a boat dealer and see what they say.
Why paint it? Use some good aluminum cleaner and shine it up like new.
