Post my semi new paint job
well lesson learned, always prime your boat.

i went from aluma brightening it to painting it and didnt prime it and now i can take my fingernail and scratch the paint off. its sikening because it came out so good and i worked my ass off, but its all good ima take all that paint off with some stuff i forgot what its called, you just spray it on and the paint just drips off.

what i used

alumabrightener
dead grass green paint
reelfoot camo stencils
khaki spray paint for the cutgrass
dark brown spray paint for the tips of the cutgrass
and i painted my catwalk black for some reason


i dont think i have $100 in the supplies

Yeah, the alumabrite then paint trick only works with a paint that does not need a primer. Like Duralux aluminum boat paint. Ya cant just put any paint over bare aluminum.
