I just got the boat and its not painted. About how many cans of spray paint (including primer) would it take to cover a 1436 inside and out??

How tall are the sides of the hull?
What paint? Some go further than others per can...
Open floor inside?
Seats?
Fish deck?
A picture?

Buy it in quarts and spray it out of a gun. You will spend a fortune on rattle cans and you'll need a ton of them.

I just did some touch up painting on my boat this weekend.



At a minimum, outside of the boat 3 cans. Inside of the boat 3 cans. Floor of boat 2 cans. Bottom of boat 2 cans.

If you do 2 coats, that's 20 cans at a minimum. The krylon fusion paint is $4 a can, so about $100, so you have some extra cans to touch up later.

Do you know what a fuk ton is? in case you don't a Fuk ton Is a shit ton more than an assload which is ALOT.
On a serious note Get a gallon of duralux aluminum boat paint. you can either roll it or spray it on. It has primer in it and all you would need is about a gallon. I used it and it is holding up well

If its bare aluminum you will want a good primer coat or a paint with primer. A gravity feed spray gun from Harbor freight is just a few bucks and the way to go. Why spend all that money and settle for a shitty rattle can paint job.

Good place for some guality paint

If you paid $100 for a gallon of paint it would still be cheaper than 849 cans of spray paint and the quality will be 10 times better

If you have to order the duralux, it's about 80 bucks a gallon. It's worth it though. I know one of the guys posting cheaper prices was talking about a different paint. Make sure you get the Aluminum Boat Paint. Only comes in one color.

I was just making sure he knew to look for the right paint. One of the guys that posted the cheaper 30-40 pricing said he could get it in a few different colors. That aint the right paint.

In theory I was gonna use to paint under the front deck but I am colorblind and got the wrong color so I just brushed under there. Holy highness wear a mask

Colorblind, I was wondering why you had a green top rattle can and a blue boat.

I have a 6 gallon pancake compressor with 150psi capacity. It did a good job with the $12 Harbor Freight HVLP gravity fed gun, running 55 psi. Gun was on sale. Regular price around $19.

Spray paint is a lot more brittle than oil based paint, get a gallon of duralux or something similair like they said, prime it first.

There is nothing wrong with a cup gun instead of gravity, I spray a good deal (cabinet maker) and use a siphon gun (quart cup on the bottom) all the time, people that say they are a POS don't know how to use them or keep them clean. Plus gravity guns are fukking awkward, you can't set them down anywhere without a hanger or leaning them against something.
