 Touching up paint?Knicks, scratches & worn off paint from odds and ends are starting to show up. I noticed a few dings and scratches from this past duck season couple rubs against a piling that had shell on it etc... What's the best way to repair scratches in the paint that's showing aluminum? Should I fill it in with anything or just paint right over it with a can of spray paint?

Re: Touching up paint? Excellent. Just making sure. I took a can to it the day after but someone said something about filling it in and I just wanted to ask the masses.
Thanks for the help! Coe- _________________ GTB 1860 w/ 2019 GTR40XD-HO |

Re: Touching up paint? Get a can of self-etching primer. Just go around and hit the aluminum bare spots. Then spray it with paint.
