[QUOTE="catman529, post: 2735189, member: 9284"] sounds cool. I think the primer helps when painting on bare aluminum, according to what I have read. You can get a good paint job to stick to bare aluminum with no primer but I hear that it won't last as long and will chip off sooner than if you prime it. I just want to get a good paint job on there that lasts a good while. I'm gonna have to look for some nylon washers and re-do some of those bolts. And definitely need some 3M 5200 since I have heard nothing but good about it. If you are going to paint over the existing paint on your boat, I would wonder if you even need a primer. Doesn't paint stick to paint? Just rough it up a little with 400 sandpaper or something like that. Just my 2 cents, I really am a complete novice with boats and painting. Been doing my research on it. [/QUOTE]
