Re: Painting aluminum jon boat
Ben,
The finished product you get will depend on the amount of prep you put into it, and the quality of materials. Without knowing the actual condition of your boat, or the kind of finish you want when it's done, it'd be difficult to give you a good answer.
As far as paint goes, any paint will work, but again, it all depends on what you want when you're done.
For brands, I use HMG. I feel it goes on easier than Petit or Interlux, is cheaper, and has a nicer finish. If you want the absolute best, then go with AWL Grip. For a middle of the road paint, try Rustoleum's marine paint.
