I would like to paint my aluminum 14 foot rowboat. It lives on it's trailer, I don't store it in the water. <br /><br />What type of paint should I use?

Re: Painting

Go to your local auto paint store and use automotive paint. Explain you are painting aluminum and get the proper primer. When your satisfied you can also clear coat the boat.<br /><br />Depending on how much the aluminum flexes when you are in the water you might also consider adding a "flex additive" to the paint (also available at paint stores.<br /><br />Bob
