Re: aluminum boat paint

the paint is less important than the primer.... I suggest washing the hull with works toilet bowl cleaner and then wiping down with acetone..... after that use a good self etching primer and the paint of your choice

painting Aluminum is not too bad but the tough part is the prep work to do correctly-check out some of the restoration threads- you'll find all you need to know and then some. good luck.
