Long long thread, so I'll ask and then go back and look and see if I can find the answer. And then I'll post back here.
.
If we're going over the original paint, do we need the etching primer?
.
Or, another question, once we have this $100 paint job, can we repaint again down the road by just scuffing and painting over the older paint?

You could ask this in your SC topic, and perhaps get replies from tin boat builders that used the tractor paint method.

Yeah, I realized later that this is the thread the link takes you to. He put the paint instructions in this thread. I'll take your advice and start a new thread.

You see, if you go to the sticky in the hull repair and restoration forum, it has links to useful topics.
The link titled $100 paint job is this exact thread that I'm posting in.

Understand selling to move on with life. Sold both my old Chevy trucks (1948 and 1953) for an engagement ring 10 years ago.
