I've got a 17' Glastron. I'm a ways into my restore. Engine's done. Trailer's done. Interior and carpet is removed. Most of the boat is sanded and filled. I'm ready to prime and paint. I'd like to paint the underside of the boat but am not super comfortable with lifting the boat off of the bunks. I live in an HOA so I have to bring the boat to my garage from storage, work on it for the day, then take it back to storage. I get fined if I leave an RV on property. So it would be hard to take the trailer out from under the boat each time. Has anyone ever just jacke up the boat and then removed the bunks to paint? Is this not a good idea?
Also, after reading numerous posts, I'm going with Rustoleum. They have the Rustoleum professional paint at Home Depot. Should I use the Rustoleum Clean metal or rusty metal primer (those are the only two choices there) or do I need a primer since the boat is white and I'm using white paint? Last thing, I live in the Phoenix area. It's really hot here. It'll be around 85-90 in the early a.m. when I paint and then afternoons are in the 110's. Do I need to get a hardener for Rustoleum with that kind of heat? Does the heat matter other than the paint will dry quicker? I won't be in direct sunlight.
