Old Zolatone
Does anyone have an idea how to "refresh" aging Zolatone? The old girl is about 13 years old now, and the cabin is starting to peel and yellow in places. It looks like there was a layer of clear coat that is coming off, especially on the roof where the zodiac lives.
I am going to re do the non-skid on the deck next month, but would like to do it after any cabin paint is done.
Thanks!

Blast it off, leave it bare . . . aluminum doesn't like to be painted, bottom line

Re: Old Zolatone
I have a lot of work flexibility from 1 Mar to 26 Apr. meaning i can take time off for several days at a time. Maybe that can help keep costs down, and i can learn a thing or three about painting!!Chaps wrote:We'll get 'r done, did you say you want to help?

Re: Old Zolatone
I don't know how to rejuvinate Zolatone. Mine is 6 years old and holding up well. I really like the Zolatone, and I will redo it when mine needs it.
