I am fixing to repaint my aluminum boat, I know prep is the main key, and I have that down. What are yall's opinions on primer and paint. I want something that will last a few years. Not really looking for a rattle can job either! Any help would be appreciated!

How much do you want to spend? Its hard to beat AWL GRIP but it gets pricey very fast because there are so many parts
I just want a basic hunter green paint on the outside. The inside I'm more than likely going with sand colored Durabak or something similar to it. I would rather not spend too much, cheaper is better! But I know how that goes, you can't get quality without dropping some cash!

when I needed to do some painting on my boat, I went to West Marine and got the paint. It was Interlux brand and the etching was the same. as long as you prep it right it will last. I need to re-due some painting, just due to the harshness of my fishing, and I plan on using that same stuff again.
