Hi Guys.....The marina drained and removed my tank yesterday (1976 B28). New alum. tank won't be in for 2-3 weeks, and am hoping to find time to paint the bilge from the rear engine bulkhead back to the transom. I'd appreciate any advice on how to prep, prime, best paint and application method, cautions, etc.

When the tank job is done, I'll post anything I learn that may be helpful. Right now, all I know is bring money.

Many thanks,

Frank (with the ethanol nosebleed)
