Drive paint options?
What paint options are available to re-finish my drives besides powder coating? I want a quality finish that isn't going to peel off after one season in the water. My boat is used in fresh water only and is stored inside always when it isn't in use.

I have used PPG acrylic enamel with hardener over an epoxy primer with great results. I would think as long as you prep it correctly and use a high quality automotive paint with the correct bare metal/aluminum self etching primer you will be fine. This is the method I will be using on my drive over the cold season.

Imron is out since I can't find anyone who is willing to suit up to use the stuff. Therefore I will be going the acryllic enamal route using aluminum wheel clearcoat. It is harder and more durable than auto body clear but with a slightly lower gloss level. Still shiny but not like body panels are.
Thanks for the updates.
