Were can I buy paint for an aluminum boat?

How do I paint an aluminum boat that has faded paint already on it? I would like a Camo pattern.?

  • I have an older 12 aluminum boat that has a lot of faded paint and bare spots on it. How do I go about painting this boat so it will last? Also, I want a camo pattern.

  • Answer:

    I like what Griffin has provided but I would not wash the boat down. I recommend blowing all debris off the boat and wiping with a solvant to remove oil, grease whatever. Let dry and paint immediately. It should be noted that sand, clean and prime must be all done on the same day so if you have a large area it may take several days to cover.

I did a aluminum boat last summer. You have to sand the entire thing down extremely well with power sanders to scratch the surface enough for the primer to stick. Aluminum is difficult because not many things like to stick to it so you will have to use a primer make sure it is a boat primer and says metal on the can. Cover the entire are with one or two coats once the primer is on you can pretty much do anything including spray paint. But I would recommend getting a clear protective gloss to go over. If the boat is going to stay in the water I would get paint made for boats. Rust oleum is a great brand. It's expensive but well worth the money.

wtf is this hellhole

Sand it down with some fine sand paper and purchase the camo kit made by Rust o Leum. you can get it at Home Depot or Lowes.
