    2 ways to do it. first is the easy way, just get any paint for metal and paint. be sure to be ready to do this every year. The right way is to power wash entire boat, then sand with 120 or 180grit (palm sander best for your boat). Wipe down with acetone or mineral spirits to remove dust and particles. Apply several thin coats of a marine alum. paint. You might want to put on a"bottom "pain on all below water line, actually 1 to 2 inches above. This will prevent any algae or barnacle growth if you are in a salt water area. West Marine is good store.
