Not only at the seams but also the 3 stabilizing fins (I don't know the right word for them). I shopped for "special" metal/aluminum paint but a professional told me that any metal paint was fine. I can't remember the brand but it was in quart cans in the automotive dept in Can Tire. The colour that I used was BRILLIANT SILVER METALLIC.......oh la la! 
Everything was done on the outside of the boat and next year I'll have a look at doing something with the inside and I'm definitely going to repaint the trailer.
I left out one very important point..........After taking the wire wheel to it I primed the whole boat and I had to re-prime the rockguard after I put it on. I can't remember how many cans (2 maybe 3?) but it was just a very light coat. That was on the advice of the same professional.
Yeah, I stumbled upon a fantastic deal!  The boat is out at my camper right now but when I go out I'll take some pictures to post up.  |
Awesome! Thanks again for the help. Looking forward to seeing pics of your rig.
Once I get this bad-boy sealed up Im going to put a little bit of a deck on the front with a pedestal seat for flyfishing... maybe a couple rod holders...some drink holders... pimp it out
