re: Painting vs. Polishing aluminum boat

I refinished this one for my dad last father's day. The best thing to use to strip off the old paint is acetone and a lot of elbow grease. Doesn't look like it'll be much of a concern for you, but the acetone is gonna take of anything, including any patch leak fixes that have accumulated over the years. If I were to do it again I wouldn't have knocked those off, cause it was a pain tracking down every little one again.

Nice paintjob. What paint did you use?
If I paint, I will just paint over the current layer instead of stripping it bare.
I am just afraid of getting chunks of paint taken out every time I bump up against something. I figured the bare aluminum would take care of that, but it looks like the process is a little more in-depth than I am willing to go.
