I did the floor with gray heruliner. I prep the floor with a wire wheel on my drill. Check out my thread.

Welcome to iboats.

Well if you want to use it on your wood deck ...okay but..... I would advise not to bother with the aluminum surfaces. We have had too many nightmares of it separating from the aluminum, creates massive future repair problems and is best used in your truck and not a marine environment.

Read the posts from the links here http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=288451 and take a look at what other aluminum people have done (see the Starcraft post).

The herculiner is HOT and there are other paints, carpet and deck treatments you can use.

I tried herculiner, but didn't like the way it went on (and didn't like the big chunks of rubber in it). I ended up using a product called Grizzly Grip. Went on very thick and it's been extremely tough (no peeling or cracking). I primed my aluminum floor, then scuffed it up before application. It's been rock-solid for me.
