Ali hull paint
Submitted by feral1975 on Wed, 2008-08-20 21:14
Ok guys and gals , im doing a complete refit on my centre console at the moment and just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what paint material i could use to save the hull under the floor from electolysis and the stray fish hooks that find their way through the sides into the hull . Was thinking about an anti foul or a rubberised paint or would this hold any moisture against the hull or not worry about it , any ideas would be great as im not really clued up on this , cheers feral

You need to use a etching primer first
Give it a acid wash before the etching primer to stop any further corrosion,then paint it
Dont know the name of the acid wash most paint shops will steer you in the right direction
