What paint and color do you have now? Pics if the areas you wan to cover might help understand the pain scope. Some options come to mind:
1) Remove the boom, dissemble it, wire brush it, sand it, apply aluminum spray primer then 2 coats of your choice of paint and color like off-white rustoleum or Algrip to match.

3) Remove the boom, dissemble it, sandblast, powder coat.
4) Replace with a used boom in good condition.

anyone paint their boom?
My boom is a tad but scratched. Was wondering how it would look with a dark grey boom. Actually I know initially it would look good. But long term? Anyone ever do this?
Mast Refinish
The painted mast and boom on my 1985 Ericson 35-3 were looking pretty tired when I purchased the boat in 2006. The previous owner had taken some Rustoleum gray to touch up the spots that had flaked...
