Aluminum Boat Paint

Aluminum Boat Paint

If your boat has seen better days, a new paint job can make it look new again. Maybe you are just tired of looking at bare aluminum. My reason for painting was to seal the seams and rivets with an epoxy sealer that required me to paint over it. Whatever your reasons are for painting your aluminum boat, you should follow these basic steps to make sure the paint will properly adhere to the aluminum. Being the inside of the boat or the outside, it does not matter. These steps will be the same.
The first things that you need to do are properly clean and degrease the metal. If the boat already has paint on it, then you should sand and scrape any loose paint off first. If you choose to use paint stripper to clean off all original paint that is up to you but it is not required. Once you are ready to clean, use an aluminum cleaning product or some kind of detergent. I used a stiff scrub brush with some dawn detergent and water to get anything that may be on the metal off.
