RangerClay Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I bought myself an aluminum boat. It has no paint on it now and the plain old aluminum look is kinda dingey. What kind of paint do you use to paint aluminum. Its a trailored boat so the bottom won't get too scratched up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 hey joe! I am no painting expert by any means but i know they make a primer for aluminum, then i used spray paint after that. I just painted the red stripe around the top part like a lund. But after using that aluminum primer I would try any sprayable metal paint through an HVLP or an atoumotive cup gun. I have a buddy that is a painter i will hit him up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hunter Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Zinc Chromate primer, then paint after the primer cures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Don't forget the that aluminum primer and use a good marine enamel.(2 top coats) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Depends on what you want to do with it. If you just want like a green or tan, I've used the H.S. brand of permanent duck boat paint and had very good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
