I have a maxum 16ft Bowrider. I want to paint a 24in stripe down the side over the stripe that is there. Im tired of buffing it to keep the fade away. I have got the propper marine paint my friend accually owns a paint shop I was wondering the best way to prep it before I do it. thanks.

Re: Painting Prep

Wetsand the area to 400 grit, mask the area and prime and paint. Use the primer the paint company advises. I will assume the area you want to paint is just below the rubrail. If so, you can use top side 1or 2 part marine polyurethane.
