Re: Newb Aluminum restore question

3 and 4 would be best to do on the same day. Once the self etch is on you can paint at your leisure. I have not done a lot of camo painting, but when I did a duck skiff once I painted my base color on [a light tan] then after it dried I filled in the rest with different colors in rattle cans. I did all the camo fill in at the same time, spraying wet on wet. Spraying them together made them sort of melt together, rather then have hard lines of light to dark. If your doing flat colors for the camo you would not wax these. In my previous post I assumed you were going for a shiny paint job.

So should I roll and brush on the first coat or can I use a rattle can?

Many people painting boats use Rustoleum oil based enamel AND a hardener. This is available in many places, including Tractor Supply. This can be either sprayed or rolled on--either is fine.

Epoxy? No way.
