I am trying to decide what to do with my fence panels on 1990 Monark Suncaster 200 restore project. Dents/damage in one front corner skin only, but the rest is solid. Rails are all good. Old decals are coming off, but looks like a lot of work to get them all off. So options I'm considering are:
1. Replace aluminum skin panels with the mm aluminum roll material (.24 ga / .030 mm? Corrugated vs Flat?)
2. Sand/strip the outside of the current panels (insides are fine) and leave exposed aluminum (Any issues with doing this?)
3. Sand/strip panels and paint with a textured paint - Rustoleum?
4. Sand/strip and cover panels with a vinyl w/adhesive roll material
Any other ideas?
Any experiences with the above - good or bad?
I like the look of bare aluminum, but not sure it is viable to strip and clean or if it would be a problem down the road.
We live on the river, so the boat stays in the water most of the year.
Thanks in advance for your input!
