Re: Alkyd paint for Aluminum boat?
As house painters we've used latex on siding and oil on the more exspensive awning jobs.
Pressure washed, sometimes even srcubbed with bleach or TSP and sprayed with house paint. Oil has harder finish than latex but latex is easier to apply and will never peel off aluminum siding (will get chalky after 15 years) I would use oil on the boat.
