Re-painting 14 ft Harbour Craft Aluminum Boat!

[grrr_evans]

Hey there everyone, I am going to paint my 14ft Aluminum Boat inside and outside!, I bought it and it is an ugly green right now the paint looks in fairly nice shape but I would like too paint it a nice blue with white seats!

I have been reading different forums about this, and I am getting the hint that I don't have to sand it down to bare metal! but I have to sand it down and prime it with and etching primer where there is bare aluminum, and then prime is with what kind of primer after that?

I am wondering what kind of paint to use and how to use it!, should I spray? or should I use a brush?

Where abouts would I buy this paint could I get it from Home Depot? or do I have to go to a special marine store?

Thanks for helping!

Contact Harber Craft. They can tell you the process used to paint the boat. Knowing that, you can use the same kind or type paint products. If you know the new finish will not react with what is on the boat now, you can repaint over the old paint. After smoothing and prepping of course.
