I forgot to mention after buffing I washed with soap and water and rinced well towl dried and allowed the boat to set upside down in the sun to bake dry before painting.
after painting I allowed it to bake dry in the sun for a good week or so.. again I did not paint the bottom of the boat, I figured I would be dragging it across sand grass and gravel so painting the bottom was not worth the effort. I painted the back and the sides of the hull above the water rib. no flaking. I have made a couple scratches, but I dont realy mind. I can touch those up any time.
it is imperitive you get the metal clean and dry as a bone before painting.
