Duralux aluminum boat paint seems to be pretty popular. Only come's in one color, but it's pretty much an olive drab. Does not require a primer which is nice...

Bayoublack...

The Duralux is a bit more expensive, but you do NOT have to Prime.. So, with that said, it takes half the time, and you save money on primer..

How much paint does it take to paint a 1854 with two coats?

If I were you I would paint it tan. Tan is much much easier to hide than that old dark od green.

You can clean with luma-brite. Then buy an etcher and u can skip the hard sanding.

That is the link on where you can get the Duralux.

They have only one color of the "Aluminum Boat Paint" which is a no-primer paint-and as they put it "with a vinyl type coating". Dark Green Only. This is the M736 that some boat builders use. Geaux used it I know.

Then they have three colors in the Camouflage paint- Dead Grass Green, Pirouge Green, and Duck Boat Drab. This paints requires a primer coat.

They have pretty good instructions on what to do to prep and best ways to paint.

You can click the links and see a color sample of all.

Good luck

Do any of yall know the radio of how much thinner to add to the alum boat green to spray it?

Author:  cb5331 [ Sat Apr 23, 2011 1:32 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: OD Green Paint

Check their website. I want to say the instructions say it is not recommended to thin, but it tells you how and what to use if you want to do it anyway.

When he said aluminum boat green, I was assuming he was talking about the duralux paint. If that ain't what you were talkin bout T-bub, disregard my previous post.
