Hey guys just wanted to share how proud I am of all the hard work I put into my boat to make it look a bit nicer for the season. Probably put in over 40 hours. 
 

first picture is the old color. Second is the new color. 

Nice job.  Tell us about the paint type.  I've thought about painting my aluminum.

Looks great.

Well the hardest part was stripping off at least 4 layers of old paint. I went through a whole thing of paint stripper. used a hand sander (80 & 120 grit) and a wire brush to get around the rivets. After cleaning i was done with that I power washed it and hand dried it. Once dry, I added two coats of totalboat aluminum paint which is primer and paint together. This paint covered well and dried fast in about 1 hour in 50-60 degree weather.  
 

Here’s a couple pictures to show you how difficult stripping the old paint was. I just didn’t want to take any short cuts.
