Re: Lund boat paint
Paint is a matter of budget, you can use Rustoleum oil based enamel for 10 bux a qt...up to the sky...
Regardless of what you choose as a paint system, there are a few necessary steps u need to do for proper adhesion, especially on foot traffic areas.
1) wash it with soap/water and then clean it with a wax/grease remover (surface cleaner)
2) sand
3) you should then clean it with a phosphoric acid based cleaner, like Alumiprep or equivelent
3) you should lightly coat any bare aluminum with either an epoxy primer, or a wash primer, or a zink chromate primer, or alodyne product, or an etching primer...
4) then follow the primer/paint instructions for the system you chose as topcoat
Por15 primer and topcoats would be ideal for your application, but its a bit pricey
A good industrial epoxy paint is another good option...
