Hi Martin,
I did my port side toe rail with Tremclad spray paint, flat black.
The underside had many corrosion spots & sorta cracks (linear
corrosion). The corrosion got hogged out with a round burr on a
pencil grinder and washed with a weak acid to get rid of salt
deposits, then rinsed. The damage was filled with Devcon metal repair
(it's black too). Sand/fair repair area when cured then lightly sand
entire rail with fine grit paper, 220+.
Give it a turps wash, dry & paint. The first coat was just a light
fog. I think I stopped maybe at the seventh coat.
It looks good at 6 years. The toe rail is the same age as yours.
Cheers, Russ

I want to piggy back on Alex's question regarding a re-coat over
anodizing, in my case the C&C toe rail.
Any special prep (beyond sand / prime) to paint over the original
anodizing? Any case histories of epic success or failure?

Subject: Stus-List Spar Re-finish: Powder Coating vs Anodizing
Hi Wally,
Thanks for the great links. You've obviously done a fantastic job
inside out. On my side the local anodizing shop maxes out at 12' so
no go for my spar.
However this begs a question for those metallurgists lurking out
there: What do I do about the residual anodizing on the spar before I re-coat?
