Looking to jazz up my rudders with a shiny new coat of paint Does anyone have a recommendation for paint type and process? Looking to make them bright orange |

Depends on what they are . . . If you've got the original Lexan rudders that came with your boat - paint doesn't stick well. Fiberglass rudders will take paint, but you need to surface prep them to get it to stick. |

Spray them with Gelcoat. Search the forums for info on Gelcoat. |
