Painting aluminum boat!!!

[phiboyy13]

Painting an aluminum boat but cant decide on a color! Boat was sanded down and primed with rustoleum self etching primer. What color for a aluminum boat would look good??? Paired with a 90 Yamaha 2 stroke!??

just my opinion, but I like light grey because its less noticeable to stand out and spook fish in shallow water plus it doesn't get as hot as darker colors and go with a flat color so there is no glare from reflected sunlight

light grey or sand or light brown... and like keakar says a flat color... anything to cut down on that deck getting so hot it will blister your feet.

Here's what i did, turned out pretty well and other than one problem spot (that i either didnt sand good enough, or where i didnt wipe it down right) has held up great.

alternatively that stuff they sell at home depot / lowes (the new textured deck coating stuff) is supposed to be real good as well.
