Canoe Painting

Question

I am going to paint my aluminum canoe. I was wondering if there was any certain brands or types of paints that I should look at using. Do I need to use a primer of some sort first? Thanks.

I brushed the aluminum first with an abrasive brush

(very abrasive sponge that has a drill bit) and used

my power drill to rough the surface up. Then i used

Rustoleum Aluminum primer, it's an all metal primer,

but it works wonders on Aluminum. Then i painted about

thin coats over the primer. Lots of coats for two

reasons. One, the grey primer showed through the paint

really easily, so i needed a lot of coats to get rid

of that. Second reason being it makes it stronger and

more chip resistant


A tip I got from a guy a while back.... Never tried painting mine, but maybe it will work for you..
