Lonestar

Just acquired an 14 foot Lonestar aluminum boat id like to restore but need some info on year, model, and paint removal. The aluminum is perfect thru out all i need to do is strip old paint and repaint. What would be the best way to get old peeling paint off? Thanks Craig

Re: Lonestar

I'd start with a Good Pressure washer. I'd then use some of this...

Imperative you wear Respirator and gloves when using this stuff. Check the last link in my signature for some info on painting her when you're ready.

Re: Lonestar

Get some plastic sheeting too. Paint on the Stripper then cover with plastic, it really helps keep it from evaporating to quickly and lets it eat the paint a bit longer.

Re: Lonestar

With dimensions of your boat:

Length along centerline from transom to bow

Max beam (width) across the widest part of the boat, generally near/thru the helm seat postion

Transom width/beam

Style of seats (bench)

Number of seat rows

You should be able to find something HERE that helps reference the year/model of your Lone*Star

The 1st 2 pix I looked at had boats that looked similar: 1955 runabout (12', 14', & 16' were available that year) & 1956 Commodore. Both looked very similar to me. But I didn't have the specifics of yours...

How about a 1957 King Commander. It looks like the only one with that seat bracket.
