I`m not an expert but they say your paint or at least the primer needs to be compatable with the
aluminum. I would check with a marine paint supplier. I don`t know what the specifics are.
The original paint may have been tractionized
with sand or something. Some boats used spatter paint.If you are trying to be authentic you may have to do some research. You may be able to find info at www.boatclassics.com . Spike
