Here's a tip, prior to painting, put hot tap water in a bucket then set your rattle cans of paint inside , shake cans and repeat until cans are warm, the paint will atomize and flow way better plus every bit of the paint will be used! Especially if you use bedliner or undercoat paint.

I just bought an old 12’ Sears fishing boat. This is exactly what I needed to watch. Perfect timing. Thank you! 🙏🏻

@Justin.Sonier Месяц назад

Great video! I can’t wait to redo my old aluminum boat now! Thanks

@petershea9818 Месяц назад

Nice video. I have restored the inside of my boat and ready for the outside. This video will help me tremendously. Big thanks!

@Threee_Eyez Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing, doing the same thing to a 1966 mirrocraft 14ft aluminum boat right now.

@squirrelystub2658 2 месяца назад

@FR-sr9sy Месяц назад

This was a great job done to an old aluminum boat. Given today prices this is the way to go!!!

@Kick_Rocks Месяц назад

I have the same exact boat. Mine is a 12ft. Nice paint job!

@rayclark8773 2 месяца назад

Good video! I already did my old Lund, but I followed the same basic process as you showed. I like the Krylon and Rustoleum Farm and Implement paints; very affordable, easily available, and very durable. For small aluminum boats, a decent looking paint job doesn't require paint that costs $120 per gallon.

Great video and great job.

I've owned several aluminum boats in my lifetime and I even camouflaged a few that I hunted out of. I never repainted any of the others, because the factory paint was still in good condition. My last boat, a 14 foot Proline V-bottom, has no paint at all. This is the way it came from the factory and since I no longer hunt, I like it. When I first bought it (used) I replaced the wooden seat tops and they now have side by side pine 2X10's left natural and painted with clear a spar urethane. I just buffed the aluminum a little to make it shine and it looks great. After looking at many boats since then, I've come to realize that I'm the only person on my lake that has an unpainted aluminum boat!

Great results, really like the color. I have an old aluminum boat, and she looks rough, but I am too sentimental to paint her. The faded paint is from being out in the summer sun on high adventures. The dents and dings are stories and character of a boat that has stories to tell. Big fish have been caught and even bigger fish got away for next time 😊

@dwightvoeks9970 2 месяца назад

Good tips. 👍

@gsh341 Месяц назад

This is pretty much the same method I used on my boat. Mine is a 16' and I painted the inside a matte gray and the outside a semi-gloss red. I also chose to leave the bottom unpainted as that was where the most wear would be. It's been good to go with no scratches since 2021.

@Beauacadian Месяц назад

I'd have used a pressure washer before the stripper and to remove the stripper after it did it's work. Nice video!

Can I use colormaxx fusion instead? It is more readily available

@heavyd777 Месяц назад

Orange strip is great stuff for an Aluminum boat. Gluvit or Total Boat aluminum epoxy will seal up the bottom seams and rivets. Just in case. Primer, paint, done. Never, ever, ever use Flex-seal on your boat.

@codwithbk7163 Месяц назад

I used flex tape for a boat plug replacement… 4 years later still holds

@dennisfitz5071 9 часов назад

Does it leak? I have an old 12 foot aluminum boat, no drain plug and it takes on water

@Chadlife12318 5 дней назад

Do I need all that stuff? Like what’s not needed?

@yooper7753 3 дня назад

Steel wire brush on aluminum is an invitation for galvanic corrosion between steel and aluminum. You should have used aluminum oxide sanding pads. Your respirator filters do nothing for paint fumes. Those filters are for dust particles only.

@robedmund9948 Месяц назад

Would Rhino Liner work on the inside of the boat? Might get good traction for getting in and out.

@joesummers9864 Месяц назад

My friend bought a boat with that stuff sprayed inside the boat whoever sprayed it did not prep the surface correctly and it started to peel in areas something to think about

@ThePlantGuy 2 месяца назад

If you sand the bottom to bare alluminum dont you need to protect it with something? Im working on a similar project and was hesitant to work on the hull .

@fishingduoproductions Месяц назад

There are coatings you can apply to delay oxidation. Oxidation will definitely dull the shine so if that is important to you then you should coat it. However, I find it's less expensive on small boats to just take a fine grit sand paper to it ever year or two to restore the shine. But if you don't, oxidation won't reduce the integrity of the hulls strength and it still looks pretty good after many years. Thanks for watching!

I hope it was an etching primer

@yawmxaivchannel 10 дней назад

Why didn't I see this earlier - I used paint stripper and they are 50 dollars each. but still not working as good.

@560Roadster 29 дней назад

Great video. What needs to be done prior to check for leaks in the rivets and welds?

Always hook a safety chain to your boat motor.

@svoctopus4888 Месяц назад

A couple of cans of Rust-Oleum Bed Liner sprayed on the floor now wouldn't hurt.

@srsorbo Месяц назад

Just wondering if perhaps I should consider getting a can of Gluvit for the rivets and seams. Yes it will definitely increase the cost of the project as Gluvit is not cheap. 😏

@fishingduoproductions Месяц назад

Definitely worth considering since rivets on an old boat often leak.

@isacr7282 Месяц назад

I've used it on my old starcraft that I refurbished...bone dry in the boat, and that's with some rivets replaced with stainless bolts and nylon washers... its runny stuff, but works good...I applied to all the seams too for extra leak protection, inside and out.

@Justin.Sonier Месяц назад

I highly recommend Gluvit! It’s expensive but it works.

@TheManWithNoName93 19 дней назад

You need charcoal filters for spray painting not p100s

@stephendeschene6120 6 дней назад

Great info but....Less than $200.00 ? Would like to shop where this gut does.

@lelanddennison290 8 дней назад

Man when was this video made? Try and buy that material in todays time! (×3)

@fishingduoproductions 5 дней назад

It was all purchased in 2024. Still less than $200. Maybe it depends on where you live.

@bigfoothunter574 24 дня назад

Stainless steel will corrode aluminum.

@MrTrever86 Месяц назад

Why not just hit the boat with a pressure washer after the gel eroded the paint?

@MrTrever86 Месяц назад

Honest question. Not sure it would be enough, but in think it would eliminate a lot of the manual scraping

@fishingduoproductions Месяц назад

I think that could work. But the amount of paint material that comes off a boat is more than you might think. I wanted to contain it and throw it in the garbage. if you have an area you don't mind making a big mess, go for it. It would save some time for sure. I also don't have a pressure washer, hence the scraping. Thanks for watching!
