I know the hard work you put into that paint prep ; looks nice

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Michael.

[@georgejordan3093]

Boat turned out great Dawg, but really good instructional video as well, following your build getting ready start my own this winter. Appreciate the time you put into videos they'll be big help this winter.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man. It's allot of work to document this but comments like this makes it all worth it. Tight lines.

[@mikesimmons7539]

Looking good like a fishing boat should . You put in a lot of time and hard work and it shows . Great job .

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. 👍🏾🤙🏾

[@ronmarshall725]

Great Job! One of the best "how to paint an aluminum jon boat" videos on the internet. And I know because I've watched them all, LOL

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Lol thanks.

[@rogermorris5224]

The best paint video I have viewed. You didn't talk 90 miles an hour with loud, obnoxious music playing while you were explaining, unlike so many others. I learned a lot from this video and really enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@rogersailors154]

I'm impressed again. You could have taken the easy road, but you maintained your project integrity! I appreciate your sharing your experiences on your channel.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. It was a tough road to take but gained a great experience to take forward with future builds.

[@RocklandRednecks]

Just spent a couple hours watching aluminium boat painting videos and this is by far the simplest, easiest to follow series of videos I've found. The final product turned out fantastic as well. I have a 14 foot aluminium from the 70s that is going to require some serious prep, looks like I need some basic tools and a lot of time and attention to detail. Thanks for posting this. I cant believe theres so few views on this video, keep it up!

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

As always, you're prep and final work is 100% spot on!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man 🤙🏾👍🏾

[@7divad37]

Great work, nice finish. You can never under-estimate how important the prep work is, thats where all the time goes... Just gotta remember the prep work is never going to take longer than the time you will be using / looking at the boat, and you dont want to spend the next few years wishing that you had put just that little bit extra into the prep, the blemish you can avoid by 10 mins extra work is the one that will catch your eye for years.... The time you spent in prepping this boat means you should have years of pleasant fullfilment, and compliments, well deserved.

[@WednesdaysDragon]

Your shows are always boss! Always time well spent here! 💯

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks 👍🏾

[@hammer9856]

Love your attention to details and sharing them, including the fails and work arounds. Paint job came out great! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Hammer

[@kipmyers5897]

Alot of people might not think they can paint Thier boat with a roller but I use to paint large 50 ft and larger high end boats and we used a method called rolling and tipping....The process was to roll on a paint similar to automotive paint using a slow reducer in the paint....then the tipping part is actually taking a foam brush and very lightly taking the tip of the brush and very lightly dragging across the paint only toughing the bubbles or what I call orange pill....the paint will lay down and as it dries it becomes flat and it's hard to tell it wasn't sprayed....This method is used to prevent wasted paint from over spray.....I learned this from a company I worked for that restored large boats.....thought I'd pass on the info to fellow boaters....The paint used was a special marine paint made for this process...Again it's called rolling and tipping.....Thanks for your video looks good!!!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks for sharing. Will keep that in mind.

[@briangullickson9013]

Thank you for sharing this tip Kip Myers!

[@duanetaylor1526]

The boat is looking good. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos. That bait is going to be awesome. Tight Lines!!!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man.

[@stephendall2329]

Great video, thank you for the detailed explanation on everything.

[@bayoubengal67]

From one OCD'er to another, great video/tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

[@SluSharkND]

That roller gives a great finish. Nice job Sir!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks

[@seanthomas8487]

Total boat makes some good products. 👍🏾

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Yea. I can attest to that now. 🤙🏾👍🏾

[@pwinnett222]

Great job! That look grueling to do. I appreciate why you did the interior stripping as complete as you did, but I definitely won’t be that thorough with my Tracker. Really enjoying your videos.

[@stephenhawkins6389]

Very good job! Thank you for making this video. I am stripping a Jon boat now myself. I used several cans of cheap dollar tree oven cleaner and it did remove some paint. I also used a good brand of paint remover. For the cost what worked best for me was cheap brake fluid . I brushed the fluid on and left it overnight. It seems to only take one layer but it works

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. I might need to try that sometime.

[@shenwow6478]

Looks fantastic, can’t wait to do this to my boat!

[@fishingwithjett5373]

Great looking paint job 👍🏾 definitely looks like a time consuming job. The reward at the end is priceless.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks 🤙🏾👍🏾

[@d-arts7139]

great job man. i bought easyoff as some online say it removes paint. didnt do anything for my paint. maybe if the paint surface was rough or worn. ill buy that cleanstrip you used. at least the previous owners only painted the walls, inside and out. im going to leave the rails bare and polish them. they always get chipped and banged up on stuff anyway. i almost bought plywood for my benches, although i didnt want any plywood. then i found old highway signs at the scrap yard. theyre 1/8" and very stiff. glad i found that aluminum! excited to get my project underway!

[@akbuilder7626]

Another good paint is Duralux Marine. It's like $26 at Home Depot.

[@superduty130]

Looks great, the build I sent you pictures of, we did a slightly darker gray. I’m sure this on will turn out great. Can’t wait to see the final build

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks.

... couple of things #1: awesome job, I know what you mean about the 3rd coat...I wouldn't have been able to not think about it if I had only done 2 #2: put a poster or calendar up in that garage Dang(j/k)

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Lol right.

[@tbnationoutdoors-nateeckhold]

Nice job.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man.

[@gregsteele9002]

Thanks!! I don't have a sprayer and I need to sell my Jon boat

[@gregorywilson7568]

Great video. How many gallons of paint were used?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Less than 1 gallon

[@charlie8brown]

Were there any other paint brands you were considering? I like totalboat, but the color options aren’t quite what I want.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

You are correct. The color options are limited. I also looked at Sea Hawk, Duralux, Rustoleum and a few others.

[@charlie8brown]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV awesome. Sea hawk is definitely one I’ve been considering. I’ve heard good things about both them and the total boat.

[@aaronbrown2862]

Hello I was curious on how much of the TotalBoat Paint You used to paint the boat. Thank You for your Time.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I used a little more than 3/4 a gallon. 3 coats.

[@aaronbrown2862]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV okay thank.

[@aaronbrown2862]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV thank you. For your response. And thank you for your time

[@badBrad3]

Awesome man! Great video! I am looking at this paint for my 16’ jon boat that is 52” wide. How much paint did you use for yours?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

A little under a gallon.

[@badBrad3]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV ok, appreciate it!

[@rboyett]

How many gallons did you use?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

1 and I still have more left over.

[@renkenshaw]

I followed the instructions perfectly and had terrible results. It looked amazing, but would scratch off as soon as it made contact with anything. The rubber rollers on my trailer took it straight to aluminum

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Sorry to hear that man. I hope that doesn't happen to me but I'll post an update if it does.

[@Xtermin8er86]

I didn’t hear you mention and off you did sorry for asking again lol. How much paint did it take?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

@@Xtermin8er86 about 3/4th of a gallon.

[@Xtermin8er86]

Ok thank you! Love watching your videos!

[@JP-ew7hq]

One year update? How did it hold up?

[@williamfeuvrel5049]

He sold it, but he made an update video on it before.

[@stubbsmuffin]

How much paint did you use inside and out?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

A little less than a gallon

[@DowWattsOutdoors]

What size boat, and what is the length of the load rite trailer?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

That's a Lowe 1436. Not sure the total length of the trailer.

[@DowWattsOutdoors]

Ok. It looks like it’s a 16 foot boat trailer. So a total of about 18 foot.

[@blazedub3333]

How has the paint held up so far?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Good but this color gets dirty easy since it's so light.

[@blazedub3333]

@Bass Brothers Fishing DMV but no chipping/wearing off? I think this is the route I'm going to go but haven't been able to find much on how durable it is
