Thinking of painting my fence

Was planning on doing a simple rolling and tipping process. I have not seen a video of doing that on a pontoon boat.

I don't plan on using a auto or marine paint, maybe rustoleum. Can someone direct me to a good resource?

I sanded ours with electric da sander as best as I could then rolled and brushed paint on. Then I cut graphics out and installed them looks great 10 ft away :mrgreen:

I have pics in my build thread

I did the same thing. I pressure washed the fences, used a rubber eraser wheel on my drill to remove any old vinyl/stickers and did a quick acetone wipe on all the fence. I used Majic tractor paint black matte. Not the greatest but looks pretty good from 5’ away. I just used a foam roller and a fine brush to get behind the fence rails.

Same here, eraser wheel from fleabay $7 and change to remove the decals, then Kleen Strip spray on stripper to get the glue and old paint off-

I'm completly restoring a 28' Party Hut, so at least a gallon of stripper and 4 eraser wheels to do all the fencing. it's a nasty tedious job, but it gets the fence to bare aluminium.
