I sanded the aluminum down to remove the oxidation. Used Sherwin Williams All Surface Enamel product. First, primed the service with a latex primer, than used their oil based product for the final coat.

I used this product before on a steel trailer and it help up much better than I expected.

I wanted a new look for my boat and the oxidation and the chalking gel coat keep reminded me of the boats age (1981)

Now, it looks more up to date.
