can anyone out there give me some advice on repainting my alum. boom etc. My boom and spreaders are getting pretty scratched and I would like to refinish them. My first problem is that all spars are brown and I really dont want to redo the mast. what paint system works best and how do I get it to match my brown mast? Since about 80 percent of the boom and spreader area is in good shape how should I go about preping the surface without total removal or is total removal my only option for a really great finish and surface texture match. Need help and ideas from those of you painting experts out there.
