now clean the corrosion on your drive and repaint.

your looking at a bead blast and prime project there.

I know. The marina the previous owner used decided to bottom paint drive for awhile. Now I’m doing research on repainting drives back to vp gray.

Be sure to coat any mating surfaces of the drive with Triple guard grease to prevent this sticking from happening next time.
