I have an ~'85 Hunter 25.5, deck has the non-stick diamond pattern. Boat is in freshwater lake (not sure if freshwater vs saltwater matters when it comes to paint). I'm guessing it has never been repainted.
I want do a "minimal level" paint job - my goal is to make it look better, not worried about non-stick, winning beauty contests, or paint that will last for 100 years. If you think this is the wrong way to approach this project, please share your thoughts! I pressure-washed the deck a couple of months ago. Assuming it is still somewhat clean what are the next steps? I've read other posts in which acetone is applied, then all non-paintable areas are taped, then apply paint. Is that the general approach? What type of paint? What is the minimum number of coats?
Thanks for your help.
