nice boat im working on a 76 starcraft 16ft ss my self these boats cant be beat and can be had for pennies on the dollar if your willing to put a bit of work into it
No you dont have to go bare metal like I did. I did it with a sandblaster wich is not a good idea. But if u wish to do so use paint remover, thats the ticket. But still u dont have to go bare metal. But when u sand and do hit bare use zinch chromate primer or etch primer. I used rustoleum, wich is becoming popular, and touch up is so easy with rustoleum. But for longer lasting use enamel hardener wich they sell at tractor supply. Good luck!
Looks great! I'm looking at repainting mine - do you mind if I ask how you approached your job (is it a case of sanding back to the bare alloy, etch Primer, and a few layers of paint)?
Great job! I've seen worse jobs come out of a professional paint shop! Way to stick with it, and I KNOW you have to be proud of the results!! I just picked up a 14' aluminum runabout, and have thought of tackling the same project myself....and how BIG is your boat?? Looks like a whopper! Anyways, great job mate!
