The first thing that you should keep in mind when painting a pontoon is that good preparation beforehand will help you to avoid negative results. Pontoons are a good boat for boating beginners because they are easy to operate, affordable and inexpensive to insure. Sometimes when a person goes boating a lot, the constant exposure to the sea can wear down on the pontoon's glossy finish. </span><br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><b>Step #1 Before Beginning:</b> Before you begin painting a pontoon, it is important to use protective gear. This includes:</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 20px;">
<li>Safety goggles</li>
<li>Gloves</li>
<li>Respirator</li>
</ul>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">You want this equipment because painting a pontoon boat, you will be working with dangerous chemicals.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><b>Step #2 Sand Away Existing Painting:</b> The first thing that you will want to do is sand away the existing painting. This sands away the paint and corrosion, but it will also rough up the surface so that it can accept the new paint. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><b>Step #3 Washing Aluminum With Acidic 'Self Etching':</b> This is an aluminum cleaner, but it is important to rinse your pontoon before continuing on.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><b>Step #4 Add The Latex Primer:</b> Before painting the pontoon, you want to use a latex primer. Most people would recommend that you use two coats and wait four to six hours in between coats so they dry.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><b>Step #5 Before Adding The Paint:</b> Before you add the paint, you will want to rough up the primer lightly. However, not enough to remove the primer. This is so that the paint will stick. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><b>Step #6 Type Of Paint To Use:</b> You should use a marine enamel type paint. Many people who paint a pontoon would recommend that you apply several coats of paint before finishing to give it the best look. One thing that you need to keep in mind when it comes to painting your pontoon is you should avoid using high gloss paints. This can be a difficult application without professional tools.</span><br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;" />
