Post Types of paint for boat
Buddy of mine is a pro painter and said he would do my rig for free if I just supply the paint. Problem is I have no idea what kind or brand. Any suggestions for what paint to put on aluminum with a gravity fed spray gun?

If you spray your boat (Base Coat) with Imron then spay your camo (via rattle can) after the Imron tacks off, the camo will integrate in the imron and you'll have the toughest paint job ever. if done right it will be the last time you paint it.

I just painted my boat with crossfire etching primer from Napa auto parts store and put the camo pattern over top of it.
