Repainting Alloy Boat

[scrubba01]

I am in the process of getting my alloy boat repainted, it is currently 2 packed. I have arranged for the bad bits to be soda blasted and will be giving it a bit of a rub back. Is there any thing else i should be doing or any particular brand or type of paint i should be using?
Thanks guys.

I repainted my old Aluminium cat a few years ago, I had it blasted, but you need to find someone who knows what they are doing, or you will end up with a big pile of scrap! then it was primed with etch primer and sprayed in marine enamel paint, and to this day the boat still looks great, I think the primer is the most inportant part.

Yep. Keep saving your money because you will need another repaint down the track. Bare is best.
