TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Paint for Canoes, Bass Boats, Dinghies, Duck Boats, Jon Boats and Pontoons (Army Green, 1 Quarts (Pack of 1))

Painted my Lowe twelve-foot Jon boat with this stuff. Preparation is key - the painting part is rather simple. To be clear, I spent 20 hours cleaning, sanding, and prepping the boat - then one hour painting time on each the top and the bottom. Three months later, the paint is holding and looking good. There are plenty of online videos to help understand the process - if you need the tips. I used both a brush and a small roller and got excellent results. One gallon gave me two coats on both the top and the bottom with more than half the gallon left over for another boat. A quart would probably have covered the top and bottom one time.

looks great and easy to apply, I ordered the gallon and found out one quart would have done good and I applied two coats when one would have sufficed

I spent over a weeks time prepping my 14' aluminum boat. Washed, Sanded, wire-wheeled, washed again, and then wiped with mineral spirits. Applied using a brush and a fine-nap roller. Coverage was absolutely terrible and I could still see mainly green showing through the new white paint.Following the instructions which said "recoat without sanding any time within 12 hours," I added a second coat, about an hour after the first coat had dried. The second coat didn't cover any better than the first. At this point I started to get frustrated.I allowed the paint to dry thoroughly and the next morning it was cracked and peeling off of the boat! I could easily scratch it with my fingers and the water hose would blast it right off! I read the can again and realized that this paint is water based. It's absolutely horrendous crap and I can't believe how terrible of a job it did. I have since pressure-washed all of the paint off and re-painted the boat with an epoxy paint from Pettit that worked SO much better.As I was pressure washing, I literally watched the paint delaminate from itself - the second coat didn't even adhere to the first coat. I can't believe how terrible this paint is - it's like painting a boat with watercolors.STAY FAR AWAY from this. You will waste so much time and will only end up frustrated. Buy some Pettit EZ Poxy paint instead and you will have a nice, hard finish that is totally scratch proof in one coat!

Bought this to paint the aluminum siding on an old 1990s camper we are rehabilitating. Happy with the finish. Took two coats, plus another on some spots. It is thin, so it drips and sags really easy. You need to keep looking back at what you already painted to make sure drips didn’t form and catch them before they dry. We ended up with some sagging and drips in the finish after it dried. Seems like you could use it in a paint sprayer, but we didn’t have one, so we used brushes. Camper looks way better than it did. Overall a good purchase for what we needed.

So far so good. Make sure to Eather prime or etch wash aluminum

I bought this paint to paint my old windows and this goes on so easy and has stood up to the Florida sun for 3 summers so far and still going strong. No prep, just make sure the are cleaned from any loose paint or dirt and go to it. Drys to a nice smooth flat finish.

I used this paint on an aluminum boat. I sanded the old paint down to bare metal. I cleaned the metal and applied with a sprayer. The paint sticks well in most places but flakes off in other. It even pulls free from wood and fiberglass in spots. Now I have lots of repairs to do. Hopefully it sticks the second time!After following the instructions and getting lots of areas needing rework, I cannot say that the price for this is justified. I probably would have been better off getting a cheap can of oil based paint from Walmart!

I used this paint to cover the interior of a 1975 Gregor aluminum boat. I used stripper, and then a flap disk to completely remove the old interior paint of the boat. It left the surface with some light grooves from the flap disk. I washed the interior out with soap and water. Then let it dry. Then used acetone to wipe down the whole interior. Started painting the edges of everything first. Got about 3 coats of this stuff on the edges. Then came through with a 4” foam roller for the flat areas. I would let the paint dry for about an hour. Then wipe lightly with acetone in between each coat. And once I had 3 coats on the whole boat it was perfectly smooth. I could no longer see the light grooves from the flap disk. I’ve now had the paint on my boat for about 30 outings. It’s holding up great. The only areas it has been scratched off are from actual metal objects scraping the paint off. To be expected in my opinion. Will buy again for my next bot project.
